Yeah, Generic changed their name to RAW a couple of years ago. It was in
all the papers.

Hey Howard!
Glad someone could help you. I'm sorry if I came across earlier a little
harshly. I found out I'm on the autism spectrum, and expressing myself
correctly is very difficult, and is something that I'm working on.
Best wishes from Seattle, Washington...

Tilghman comes through again! _Manufacturer "RAW"_ I have always used
"Generic." No more!
Still gonna keep Ubuntu 16.04 on some systems...

I'm running Kubuntu 18.04.3, and I had no trouble adding a raw queue
with CUPS. Installed package version is 2.2.7-1ubuntu2.7, which
apt-cache shows is the latest.
Manufacturer is "Raw", and the only available model is "Raw queue".
We use it for our label printers, since we're sending ZPL
Paul,
Thanks. My problem is not hardware. I _can_ configure an Epson 9 pin
driver that does "print" - just not the way I need it to. And yes, I've
made something of a hobby of collecting JetDirect boxes over the years
(even have some Intel branded ones that I never have made work). The
I have a supply, thank you. :D
Just try and find a motherboard with a 25 pin parallel port! A PCIe
card? I have not looked; don't wanna know...

Not at all, Alex. I get it. You saw my struggle with Arch (for which I
have tremendous respect but zero luck).
This issue is CUPS which many distros use. My RTFM of lpadmin was short
because the entire lpadmin/lp/lpr suite has been overtaken by Apple.
Suggestions solicited for a program
I hope I didn't come across as a troll, I was just venting when anyone
tries to complain about Ubuntu when they were the ones screaming about how
it's the only Linux they'll use, or anything else is not "easy" enough. I
have really good luck with openSUSE, Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific Linux/Oracle
Creating a print queue external to CUPS really was the point of my
gripe, Alex. Ah how we have grown stale by using tools (or trolls
depending on how they do or do not work) such as CUPS or the ever
popular NetworkManager.
Now off to RTFM the lpadmin man page.

I remember when I had a dot matrix printer and using it under Linux (think
Slackware in the end of the 90s), CUPS wasn't around, and I just created a
raw lpr queue. The printer was an Epson 9-pin dot matrix printer.
Is that no longer possible?

With a Raw Queue, there is no ppd.

The source of the issue seems to be CUPS which is more than just Ubuntu.

Today's gripe is that Ubuntu 18.04 / CUPS (and others I am quite sure) [
has | have ] dropped support for a Generid Printer, Raw Queue. This
means that the dot matrix printer (remember them?) that I use to print
two part checks does not play nice in Ubuntu 18.04. Still does in 16.04.
