st800 is a driver for the Stylus 800, an inkjet printer.  I'm not sure
which one of the Japanese model names that maps to, but they sell them in 
the States. Don't know what an
ap3250 is, but I guess I could try it.  I'll try epag, too (I don't know
what it is, either). The LP-8300 is a fast (12 PPM), high-res
(1200 DPI) commercial-quality laser printer with a 64-bit RISC processor
on board, if that sounds like what anybody out there is using.  
sounds anything like what anybody out there is using.  

I also thought it seems weird that there was nothing, but TL does have
Ghostscript J in it, but there's no Epson LP-anything on the list.  I will
try the ap3250 though and see if it spits out anything recognizable :-)
