Which distro do you use? I am using mandrake 10.1. Open Office does not accept anything except postscript-1 with lpr -P printer_name as the command.
The issue here is not Distro. It is application. I am using LPRng. I guess you should try it out, because I find it more better then CUPS as far as using DOT Matrix printer is concerned. I have even used it on HP Inkjet 810, with equal success but different people have different opinion about using LPRng and CUPS with Ink jet printers. But for any dot matrix, LPRng is the best option. I have tried CUPS and never found it as good as LPRng. Give it a try and you would like to change your opinion regarding print-outs from GNU/Linux on your LX-300.
To successfully configure your print filters with lprng, you must have ghostscript and apsfilter installed. For more detailed instructions, search our list archives and you will find one which I had posted in reply to your query at that time....... I don't remember when exactly was that.
And just for your info I am using Slackware 10.1 (most of the system updated to slackware-current,.... thanks to Dinesh Shah.).
