Many modern printers don't accept straight text input. I don't know the
details about this one specifically, but your description sounds like
it could fall into that category.

The Site that has grown out of the Linux Printing HOWTO, has some useful
databases and pointers on this, and other possible winprinters.

I haven't used the 'stp' printing tool recommended there, but it may
be what you need.
