I'm not finding your printer on Google. Is there a different model number written on the printer somewhere (next to the serial number?)

Try only with "Epson TM 200" ... Thank you

From google, it looks like your printer may not be supported very well. But there's a little bit of hope that you can print some stuff from c programs. Check out this link: http://www.linuxprinting.org/epson-faq.html#q_2_1

I could not find any info on the exact model. IS this a Point Of Sale or a special receipt printer? If so then special drivers should not be required.

Are you using cups?
