it would be better to keep the discussion on the pd-list.
I know nothing about this printer in particular, but if it's a new machine with a RS232 port, I suspect that it's because of systems that still use the old Epson protocol:

See the external links for the manuals for it. This should make you able to make your own drivers as pd patches, for whichever features of the printer you want to use.

yes I understood that it's a new one, I just mean "for any new machines with a RS232 port, it's probably because of systems that still use the old Epson protocol". I say that so that you understand my reasoning. You could use that idea to pick different hardware if you need to or if you find any other reason why anything else would be better.
