I installed the 3B1 version of TeX a few months ago, along with the
dvieps 9-pin Epson printer binary.  I'm grateful to the person (I've
lost his name) who compiled all the fonts, &c.

BUT (you knew there'd be a but, or I wouldn't be posting), dvieps
unfortunately spaces things incorrectly on my Panasonic KX-P1124
because dvieps thinks it should linefeed by n/216ths of an inch, while
my printer takes the command to mean feed by n/180th of an inch.
Also, I'd like to be able to take advantage of the greater resolution
of my 24 pin printer.  I tried hacking the source, but I could *not* get
it to compile.  There seem to be symbols incompatible with file.h on
my system (3.51), as well as a bunch of syntax errors that the stock
cc doesn't like.

SO, I'm hoping for either a) A 24 pin dvi driver for the Epson or Panasonic 
printer families (binary or source) b) Advice on how to persuade the stock
dvieps.c to compile.

Thanks in advance -- Peter
