IBM PRO-PRINTER III printer driver for OS X 10.4.10

I need to emulate the IBM Pro-Printer III driver for a dot matrix printer for forms. What is the best way to do this. Here are the printer SPECS:

ADP-6350
Text
Printing method 24-pin impact dot-matrix with half-dot microshift
Print direction Bi-directional, logic-seeking
Print speeds
Letter 160 cps at 12 cpi

View the entire SPECS here:

Thank you in advance.

(...keep in mind I don't have a Proprinter to experiment with...)

Does it use a parallel connection, so you can use a USB-parallel adapter cable?

Do you know if the Proprinter II is related? Maybe just a previous year model? The Proprinter II is supported. I think it's worth a try.

Install ESP ghostscript and Foomatic from:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foomatic

Download the PPD from here - put it somewhere easy to find:
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=IBM-ProPrinterII

When you Add the printer in Printer Setup, select "Other" for model, which allows you to navigate to and select your PPD file.
