The alternative approach is to replace the printer BIOS chip - there is an 
IBM Graphics printer compatible version of the firmware that supports not 
only the IBM line draw character set but also supports the graphics command 
set.  I have such a chip but you should be able to find one nearer (this is 
the South Pacific and a few thousand miles away...).  I upgraded my ols 
Microline 92 the same way.  You could find someone with the 'IBM Plug'n'play'
chipset and copy it.
