 Yes, we have almost same problem. We're using NEC PC-PR201
(Japanese Kanji serial dot printer for personal computer). Driver
 for 9.7 is, but for 10.x none(Where is??) So, I first made up 
"my_driver", that is in /domain_examples/hardcopy/driver and 
used them(no headers,... nothing). I dont Know the name
 "Okidata 2410", but maybe useful to print ONLY unstruct(uasc)
 files. 
 Here is an advice to make "my_driver".(our old configs)

= crty_my_driver.sh =======================
# /com/sh crty_my_driver.sh
xon
crty my_driver -l
crtyobj my_driver
dlty my_driver
xoff
= makefile ===============================
#  my DOMAIN PRINTER
#
my_driver : driver_ex.bin driver_init_ex.bin makefile
	/com/bind -allmark driver_ex.bin driver_init_ex.bin my_driver_uid.bin \
     -entry my_driver_\$$initialize -b my_driver

driver_ex.bin : driver_ex.c
	/com/cc driver_ex.c -pic -natural -dbs -opt 4
driver_init_ex.bin : driver_init_ex.c
	/com/cc driver_init_ex.c -pic -natural -dbs -opt 4
=====================================================
@How to make driver & install
  1. crty_my_driver_driver.sh
          =>  my_driver_uid.bin created
  2. /bin/make
          =>  my_driver  created
            (ignore errors & warnings)
  3. copy my_driver into /sys/hardcopy/drivers

@Modify rc.user

 if [ -f /sys/hardcopy/prsvr]; then
	(echo " prsvr\c" >/dev/console)
	/sys/hardcopy/prsvr /sys/hardcopy/config/config.my_driver &
 fi

   ** Caution *****
         [-f /sys/hardcopy/prsvr   -a $LLBD...  ]
                                  === remove === 
@Modify printer config file
** sample (config/config.my_driver)****
#print server CONFIGURATION FILE

# who we are and what print manager we use
prmgr_site              I_am_sr10_print_manager  <- default prmgr name
printer_name            p                        <- only 1 name in net
device_driver           my_driver
    
# what i/o connection we use 
speed                   9600
io_device_name          /dev/sio1
    
file_banners            off
logo                    none

@Misc
  Check if OK
    Invoke By   "root"
	$ /sys/hardcopy/prsvr /sys/hardcopy/config/config.my_driver
       if no errors then ok

  Acl for /sys/mgrs
    In OS 10.2, there is no right for prsvr(user.server.none)
    if closed install.
    so  PLEASE ADD extended acl by  
      $ edacl -a %.server -user -dir /sys/mgrs
      $ edacl -a %.server -user -id  /sys/mgrs
      $ edacl -a %.server -user -if  /sys/mgrs

  If you have manuals for the printer, add some CONTROL CODE 
is useful, like control code for H-tab,...
...../* htab for 201  esc,"(004,...,016."  */
    strcpy(buffer,"(004,008,012,016.");
    c = 0x1b;
    ios_$put(out_id,(short)0,c,(long)1,status);
    ios_$put(out_id,(short)0,buffer,(long)strlen(buffer),status);
....
==========================================================
 Now,after adding some code, version for pr201 driver is 0.3 
     file type          UASC,(unstruct),gmf
     kanji code         EUC
     header, footer     filename,last modified date,current date o
                        page number                              x
     tab                at 4,8,12,...
     (OS                 OS 10.2     )
     (Lang               /com/cc 6.7m)
  Anyone here interested in? But, march is end of scool year in JA,
and I must leave here K.I.T. I'm sorry leave it ver 0.3 ...
 Also, if there's a good example or text for driver, please 
up this news group.
