I did try printing a file in real dos, that's dos on a computer that
hasn't got enough resources for windows to run and it succeeded so I
suspect doing a cat filename >/dev/lp0 will probably work on Linux.

Does the printer work under windows? Have you tried to cat a plain text file to the printer, by passing cups?

When printing something like a sign, it's helpful to print in a larger
font than 8 point type. Do any command line tools exist to adjust the font
upward on a text file say created with emacs and save that so when the
file gets printed, the printing will come out at a larger size specified
by the user? I'd prefer not to mess around in gnome or at least have a
means to do this with the command line when gnome accessibility goes away
temporarily because of updates in the future. The dot matrix printer I
have I can't get working even with very competent sighted assistance yet.
It's a panasonic KXP-1123 and though we got the ppd file installed for it
from linuxprinting.org all the printer prints out is dollar signs and
question marks and long lines. This was a new never used printer out of
the box recently I can get replaced easily enough but don't know if
there's a firmware update it needs. It would be quicker to do firmware
update for it than replace it if such is the case.
