I had Stylus800. I used magicfilter + lprng + gs.

* printcap (generated by magicfilterconfig):

lp|stylus800|Epson StylusColor 800:\
        :lp=/dev/ttyS1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/stylus800:bf=2400:fc=0:fs=1:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/etc/magicfilter/StylusColor-800@360dpi-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

* serial setting:

/bin/stty --file /dev/ttyS1 460800 raw cstopb echo ixon ixoff

My stylus is dead (I broke the printer head.) I'm using
my 10 years old DeskWriter now.
