I did it, I tried those dirvers, but they suck with  the FX series. the printting is slow (2 or 3 passes per line), and the quality is really crappy

I also tried the generic dot matrix printer, also the same problem.

I tried the generic TEXT ONLY driver provided in Ubuntu 9.04, and works perfectly ... but!!!!!!, It does not allow me to use CUSTOM PAGE SIZE!!!! and I need this feature!

I will try the LQ drivers and the MX drivers also

thanks a lot.


have anyone use DDIWRAPPER ,..... it suppouse to wrap printer drivers of windows to use them in linux.
