I'm not answering the above query: I too am interested in getting dvi
output onto an Epson LX800 printer. (I have one at home and it would
save a half hour drive to the university where I work for small docs...)
When I run dvieps, (I got it from science.utah.edu in /pub/tex/dvi)
I continually get error meassages of the following sort: (this is only one of them)

Font file [cmr10 [mag 1315]] could not be opened; 0 font files are open
Proceeding with zero size characters for this font
Current TeX page counters: [0]

Now a file is created that looks like it has Epson graphics commands in it, and 
it is not short. I'm also sure that all the font files are there, because
dvips has never complained about them. Has anyone else had any experience
with this driver?
