Dot matrix printer? Have you considered such wanders of technology as inkjet or laser? Dot matrix printers have not been around for a very, very long time. Do you still have the Centronix cable? Is it at least a USB printer? BTW, all modern printing systems should have cups-pdf:
[mgogala_at_medo ~]$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: Canon-PIXMA-MG3100
device for Canon-PIXMA-MG3100: lpd://lpt/0D88A3000000
device for Cups-PDF: cups-pdf:/
Canon-PIXMA-MG3100 accepting requests since Thu 01 Aug 2013 06:06:55 PM

Cups-PDF accepting requests since Fri 09 Aug 2013 08:09:01 AM EDT
printer Canon-PIXMA-MG3100 is idle. enabled since Thu 01 Aug 2013
06:06:55 PM EDT
printer Cups-PDF is idle. enabled since Fri 09 Aug 2013 08:09:01 AM EDT
[mgogala_at_medo ~]$
Please note the Cups-PDF device, which prints the output as a PDF. There is a package called "cups-pdf" for most modern Red Hat knock-offs. You can use Cups-PDF to actually see what your output will look like. As for Canon, that is a perfect little home "all in one" printer/scanner which works with both SANE and Cups. The price tag is whopping $70. It's an ink-jet, my last dot matrix Epson died years ago.
