Installing Generic Ascii Drivers For Line Matrix Printer

Hi,

Does anybody have any idea as to how to setup a printer using a generic ascii driver?

We have a Tally T6100 line matrix printer which is on our network and works fine in a Windows environment. We are trying to move this printer to Oracle Linux. I've contacted Tally as well as Printronix and they say that they do not have a linux driver for this printer. They say that my last resort would be to use the generic ascii driver. all the drivers I've tried thus far print garbage.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how to set this printer up?

Thanx
