You have one of those too ;). I got mine early on in 1984 (back then I was using a TRS890). The printer doesn't work anymore, but IIRC, it's pretty close to 9 pin Epsons of the era. The epson 'emulation' (basically it's an MX-80 clone) is very close to Epson, but there are subtle differences when using graphics -- specifically the dot widths are spaced differently with Epson as compared to the 10X. This led me to briefly contribute printer definition files when I was working at Symantec back in 1986. The printer expired long before I was introduced to Linux, but I think yuo will have some cussess witht he Epson 9 pin drivers: specifically 'eps9high' in GhostScript. I recommend starting small, perhaps try printing test pages with Ghostscript using that driver. If it works correctly, you might try CUPS with the appropriate printer driver. You may get discernable vertical spaces in the output using the Epson 9 pin drivers though - that's the effect of the spacing differences in the Gemini 10X. > Warren
