Hello!

I need UNIX dvi drivers for various dot matrix printers.
These are (in order of priority): 

  Printstar 5010, NDK, Japan (120x120,240x120??)
  LQ 2550 & LQ550, Epson;
  Pinwriter P7 & P6+, NEC  (60x60,120x120,360x360)
  PaintJet, HP  (90x90,180x180)

   
I think at least for Epsons and NECs there is a driver family
called 'beebe'. Is this available for UNIX (BSD) and what is
the latest version?

The most urgent needed driver is for the Printstar. This beast
has a very curious graphic format. 3 characters (Bytes) for
16 dots in a column.


Thanks in advance!

--- Christoph
