I have a Nec P5 printer (24-pins) and an Epson MX100 (9-pins, very old).
The ghostscript epson driver cannot be used with either of these.

Which is why I added a 360x360 dpi driver for the Nec P5 (should also
work with P6, P7, P9 and compatibles) and a 120x216 dpi driver for the
Epson. (A 240x216 dpi mode is trivial to add but the MX100 doesn't have
240x216 dpi)

I have added these as 2 extra functions to the Epson driver and will
send my updates to the ghostscript authors.

Paul.
