I wouldn't say it is you last chance. There are a lot of drivers for dot matrix printers. One of the main problems with your Proprinter III as I see it is that it is not in the OpenPrinting database, so we are making some assumptions on what will work. Also, I can't really find any information on the web from a Google search that gives much information about this printer. I can't even find out whether it is a 9-pin or 24-pin printer.
I did find the code in the Ghostscript package for the ibmpro device. It shares much of the same code as other built in Ghostscript drivers namely the 'epson', 'eps9mid', and 'eps9high'. All four of the Ghostscript drivers come from one code file, so they are similar but have enough differences to matter.
If the drivers Greg suggests don't work, you can access the drivers and get PPDs for the other devices mentioned starting at
http://www.openprinting.org/drivers. Many times trying to get an old oddball printer to work takes a lot of trial and error.
