I'm almost positive.  The specs for the printer says that it uses
ESC/Raster as the printer language and when I contacted Epson they
told me that the printer only worked with Windows.

I had hooked the printer up to my IIgs via a Grappler+ parallel card
and tried printing from GS/OS using the Epson driver with System 6.0.1
and an EpsonLQ driver that I found somewhere on the net and got
garbage.  I think I even tried printing text from Applesoft and got
garbage but I can't remember for sure now.

If I ever get the nozzles cleaned and get the printer to give me nice,
clean output from my Pentium II, I'll try it again on my IIgs but I
still want a Canon printer regardless of whether it works or not.  The
only reason I even have this Epson is because it was given to me for
free.  :-)
