The hardware of the CGP220 is identical to the Canon 1080A (which I believe is
still sold) but that won't help you any because it has completely different
software in its rom.  Amiga drivers for the Canon wouldn't work for the CGP so
I had to roll my own.

What might help you is a package called Pizazz Plus.  They have an add on page
229 of the June 13, 1989 issue of PC Magazine and basically all their product
does is print graphics.  One of the printers that they specifically mention
having support for is the CGP220.  See if this will do what you want.

Otherwise, you are probably stuck unless you want to write the printing
software yourself.  The CGP is very easy to write for and if you know C and
you know the file format of what you are trying to print then you should be
able to crank out a driver with ease.  Let me know if this is the route you
want to take and I'll post some suggestions on how to dither with that
particular printer.
