We have a NEC P5XL printer connected to our Sun 386i/250.  This printer
emulates Epson, and the 386i is set up to recognize it as an Epson
printer. We have no problem printing text, but no luck at all printing
graphics. For example, dumping Screen results in a banner page and nothing
else.

Do we need a better printcap than the standard Sun entry?  Has anybody
succeeded in printing graphics on a dot matrix printer such as an Epson
(any Epson) ?

Thanks for your help.
