Typically product CDs only contain windows or OSX drivers so it doesn't matter anyway. If your printer is the one listed in the link below then you can email the manufacture for a linux driver. However, according to the product specification this printer uses esc/p emulation so it should be compatible with the cups standard Epson dot matrix driver.
