This is just a 9pin epson, I think. You might try magicfilter/gs-aladdin
with epson9 and if that works, try the eps9mid and eps9high variants.
>From my hacked epson9-filter files, respectively:
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r240x216 -sDEVICE=eps9mid -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r240x216 -sDEVICE=eps9mid -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
# PDF
0 %PDF fpipe /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r240x216 -sDEVICE=eps9mid -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" $FILE 3>&1 1>&2
and
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r240x216 -sDEVICE=eps9high -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r240x216 -sDEVICE=eps9high -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
If you try to get much better quality than that, it gets far too slow
(on an LX850).
Cheers,
