[gentoo-user] TVSE MSP 240 Classic Dot Matrix Printer

[Nilesh Govindarajan]

Hi,

I'm using Gentoo, and I'm thinking of buying this printer:
http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370533563484

The printer specification says that it can emulate Epson ESC/P and IBM
Proprinter command sets.

I saw CUPS documentation and it is written that printers supporting
Epson ESC/P command set are supported on Linux.

I'd like to know if anybody is using this printer here on this list or,
does it require some hardware switch changes, etc (like jumper settings)
to make the printer comply to particular command set? I'm buying a dot
matrix printer for the first time, please help. It's urgent.
