The Printrex log plotter family has been expanded and upgraded with the addition of new 8 inch and 12 inch width printers/plotters featuring both USB and Ethernet interfaces. The 8 inch family also has the option of 200 dots per inch (dpi) or 300 dots per inch print density. I need to set up the Printrex 812 under linux, but i can't find any ppd files for it. It can print plain text files in raw mode, but can't print ps or other formats. I can't find anything for that printer for linux. On their website is only drivers for win. Maybe, someone can help me? What shall I do?

Data logging printer; prints on continuous roll thermal paper.
Prints text just fine, and the command set is fully documented.
It should be straightforward to write a Ghostscript driver for the two bitmap modes (100 and 200dpi).
Consumables/Refills: Just thermal paper
