[SLUG] new (to me) printer

So I got my hands on a Citizen GSX-230. I can't find a manual online,
there's this weird comparment in its back left top where _something_ can go
(more memory? fonts? a spooler?),and the ribbon is one of those that dries
out a paper-width at a time. But hey, it was free.

So anybody know what I should set CUPS to, to get the best quality output?
CUPS (or foomatic, one) doesn't have this (saw some Citizen lasers, but no
dot matrices). But I read in Citizen's FAQ thingy that "The 200GX is a IBM
Proprinter III". 200GX is close to GSX-230 (sorta), and CUPS has a
Proprinter _II_. OK, it prints. It's stretched vertically, and the R bit
is gone. Margins I may be able to fix. Aspect ratio, not so much. Also,
this printer supports color (presumably by having lengthwise CMYK stripes on
the ribbon). Does the Proprinter II?

Any help or pointers are appreciated. "RTFM", only if you point to the FM
as well.
