I have a really old dot-matrix printer that I want to use for doing some remote

sequences, graphics, or anything like that. I can't seem to find a printer
driver in CUPS that handles that sort of thing. Anyone know of a printer driver
in CUPS that only does plain ASCII?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and under the printer setup (I think it uses
CUPS underneath the GUI), I found, under Generic Printer, a driver
called just "Generi text-only printer". Perhaps that would work if
not already found/tried?
That sounds exactly what I'm looking for. I'm using Fedora 11 with CUPS
1.4RC1. Since I already have one printer hooked up to my parallel port I
guess I was getting confused on what the remote printer would be.
