I bought Epson LQ-100 and two cartridges and in free time I am investigating for does it work. I think cartridges capacity will be enough to print work checklist all the winter. To spend less ink I moved to print directly with hardware fonts available. To do this on windows:
1. I setup printer from list provided by Microsoft.
2. Enable printer pooling from LPT1 to my virtual usb com port. This helped to use command line to direct print through LPT1, it is very fast and cheap.
3. Setup LPT1 in console to my printer.
net use lpt1 "\\localhost\EPSON LQ Series 1 (80)" /persistent:no
4. Print "Hello Word":
echo "Hello Word" > lpt1
