I haven't used dvips and ghostscript, so I can't tell about those, but
if you want a 9 pin dvi to epson driver, you might look at Beebee's collection
of drivers at science.utah.edu or at ymir.claremont.edu In ymir I believe its
under something like ~/tex/drivers/beebe2_10 or something close.
At science it's under ~/tex/dvi (I think).  You wont need all of it, but you
will need most of the files. It compiles pretty easily, with minor changes.
It assumes the default operating system is unix and bsd. You need unix but not
bsd, so you will have to change a define.

You will also need to compile your own fonts.  I have a script for that if you
need it.
