Could you try this script:
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" || exit 2
IFS="" read -r first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`
case "${first_two_chars}" in
\%\!*)
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=djet500 \
-sOutputFile=- - && exit 0
;;
*)
echo "$first_line" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
;;
esac
exit 2
You will have to comment the 2nd line if you use an Epson printer (it's
your case) and don't forget to use the right device for -sDEVICE.

It's normal this line is for HP printers
