Here are the answers to my query about DVI to EPSON converters.
Thanks to all that helped!
>From: Ken Yap <ken@cs.rochester.edu>
Try science.utah.edu in directory aps:<tex.dvi>. Use tenex mode
for binary transfers.

The current version of DosTeX includes a dvi to epson converter.
Do not use the version on Simtel20 as it contains a major bug.
DosTeX is freely re-distributable. You can order a copy of
the latest version for $75. Mail me at beihl@mcc.com or
119 Jackrabbit Run, Round Rock, TX 78664 if you need more info.

Hi,
I use dvieps, which is from the Beebe DVI drivers that are available
for ftp and Bitnet mail transfer from Utah. It works for the newer
Epsons and needs just a little adjustment if you have the old MXs.
If you want more information on the Utah archives, drop me a note.

The dvi to epson printer driver you need depends on what kind of an
epson printer you have. Do you have a 9-pin printer or a 24-pin printer?
Most printer drivers are written with either one or the other type of
printer in mind, however, PC TeX sells a printer driver which allows you
to software select the type of printer you have. In addition to obtaining
a printer driver for the type of printer you have you must also obtain
a complete set of PK font files for the resolution of your printer.
You may find printer drivers in each of the following sources for TeX products

CHANNEL1 BBS
This is an outstanding Bulletin Board System with numerous
conferences that you may join. The TeX conference is conference
number 2. This is a very good place to keep up to date with
developments in the TeX community for PC users. You will also
find a couple of printer drivers and probably all of the font
files that you will need for any kind of dot matrix printer.
This BBS is located in Boston, MA and the phone number is
(617) 354-8873 -- I think! (I'll verify it later and let you
know if it is incorrect.) To gain access to the system you
will have to register.
