Magicfilter (epson9-filter) knows about the lx-300 because ghostscript
knows about epson 9 pin dot matrix printers (-sDEVICE=epson). Is
printtool so different, doesn't it use "gs", why wouldn't printtool
take take advantage of gs's built in ability to produce output
for the epson. I know nothing about printtool, but it is surprising
to me that printtool cannot be set up for the lx-300. Is this an
oversight?
