Hi.

I am trying install a dot matrix printer (EPSON LX300) in DSL. I choose IBM Omni in the PRINTER DRIVER SELECTION. It gave me an option for the printer:

97 Epson 9-pin 80 Col [omni/Epson_9_pin_80_Col]

or

180 Epson LX-300 [omni/Epson_LX_300]

When I choose any of those option an error message will appear.

Error: Your gs version doesn't have driver "onmi" compiled in ...
Select another driver or build a new gs version with complete or customized driver support.

I have search the other drivers and it seems do that it does not have the appropriate driver for Epson Dot Matrix.

Maybe the cups.dsl extension from the mydsl repository will support your printer. Give it a try.
