Paul,
Thanks. My problem is not hardware. I _can_ configure an Epson 9 pin
driver that does "print" - just not the way I need it to. And yes, I've
made something of a hobby of collecting JetDirect boxes over the years
(even have some Intel branded ones that I never have made work). The
problem is squarely CUPS having dropped support and their excuse is
completely lame.
So this GitHub posting discussing this change basically says "piss off,
peon; write your own utility to direct raw output to your printer." And
that is where I sit - while using Ubuntu 16.04 to print my checks.
But hey, I still have several old computers with Ubuntu 8.04 in support
of a line of business software (the server of which croaked hence the
need to replace). Gonna be hauling a metric butt load of 32bit
computers to recycling very soon. And no, Dru, they ain't worth the
electricity to run.
Howard
