Hello. My printer is Epson LQ-300. Being unfamiliar with a lot of
western people, this printer is one of the very widely used dot-matrix
printer in China. This device is supported by Linux with omni driver, in
ghostscript-omni package (which I installed).

The problem is now I cannot find this printer appear in printer list
(gnome-control-center -> add printer -> choose Epson -> no "LQ 300" in
the list). Actually, none of the printers supported by ghostscript-omni
is in the list. So, where should I check? What can I do to install this
printer? There are too few documents about omni driver on the Internet,
besides I didn't find anyone with same experience.

FYI: LQ	300 printer in omni database is in my local file:
/usr/share/ghostscript/Omni/Epson LQ-300.xml

P.S. I tried both LQ-24 (ghostscript) driver (being a general driver)
and LQ-570+ (ghostscript) driver (being a driver with closest model
number). Both driver print incorrectly.
