epson_lx800 is a 9 pin printer.  This driver will work with epson lx-800,
   epson lx-86, star nl-10, star nx-10, star nx-1000, ibm proprinter.
nec_cp6m is a 24 pin printer.  This will work with the NEC CP6 color printer,
the monochrome version of the same printer, and the epson lq-800.

Get the latest version of gnuplot, which uses \033J\030.
This allows the same driver to be used for epson lx-800, ibm proprinter 
and probably yours as well.

To get gnuplot version 2.0 patchlevel 2, use
anonymous ftp to cs.duke.edu
directory dist/sources/gnuplot
file gnuplot2.zip

To get the sources, grab gnuplot2.02.tar.Z also.
