Thanks to those of you who sent me hints on the usage of the STAR
NL-10 printer.  But, my problems are not solved yet.

Most of you adviced me to try different Epson drivers.  And indeed,
I can do graphic screen dumps with them and print standard files.

But my problem is the usage of the printer escape codes: an example:
when I use the command LPRINT CHR$(27);"4" in AmigaBasic my printer
should be set up for italic characters as described in the 'Parallel
Interface Cartridge For NL-10'-manual.  Now, the Epson drivers
do not translate these codes correctly for the STAR NL-10 so that
it does not react at all or unpredictably.

So what I need is a driver that translates these codes correctly,
or a translated code table.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance.
