I cannot get it to work on my Epson LQ-510, either. It seems that it
has problems with horizontal spacing. For example, a rectangle with 
letters in it comes out something like:
		
		-----
		| |
		| a|
		| ab |
		_____
		
rather than
		-----
		|    |
		| a  |
		| ab |
		_____

Has anyone got it to work on an LQ-510?
