this may sound off the wall, but try a C.ITOH 8510 Prowriter driver.  A long
time ago, I had an NCR Decision Mate V (non-compatible MS-DOS machine).  NCR
came out with a set of lotus drivers for it (Imagine Lotus 1-2-3 screen
graphics in 640 * 400 pixel resolution in 8 colors!).  I was in the
hospital for some knee surgery, and a roommate mentioned that he had
one of those printers.  I asked if he was able to print graphics, and he
said yet.  

What the deal was that the dip switches were set different from the factory,
and he had selected a NCE 8023 printer as his graphics printer.  It worked
fine.  It turned out that the switches were the same as when the
Prowriter was hooked up to a true IBM-PC compatible.
