I've run into the same problem on my 386i/150 running 4.0.1.  It looks
like we need a filter to convert the rasterfile format into something
intelligible to to an Epson.  I'm planning to write one when I have time,
but if anyone else has already written one, I'm sure we would both be
interested.  (Particularly since it doesn't look like I'll have time
anytime soon.)  Thanks in advance!
