Hmm, I have an FX-286 hooked up to my Amiga and it sure ain't 28.6" wide!
The only consistency I have been able to find with Epson printers 
(besides most of their escape codes) are that all print on paper.
Remember there is also the LX, DX, LQ, EX series as well.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
