 Could you try this script:
 
 #!/bin/sh
 
 printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2
 
 IFS="" read -r first_line
 first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
 
 case "${first_two_chars}" in
 \%\!*)
 	/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=djet500 \
 	-sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
 	;;
 *)
 	echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
 	;;
 esac
 
 exit 2
 
 You will have to comment the 2nd line if you use an Epson printer (it's
 your case) and don't forget to use the right device for -sDEVICE.

 It's normal this line is for HP printers
