Is this a plain old line printer? You can probably get away with the
following entry in /etc/printcap:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
epson|Epson ActionLaser 1500:\
:lp=/dev/lpt1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/epson:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/libexec/lpr/lpf:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And make the spooling directory:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/epson
chown daemon.daemon /var/spool/lpd/epson
chmod 770 /var/spool/lpd/epson
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't header pages? Add `:sh:' to the printcap entry.
