Ok, googling the web brought me up some sites offering this printer. On 
one of them, the technical features included

"Compatible with competitor's emulation's including Epson, Star and Citizen"

So I would say, what you need first is a printer "driver" for your Linux 
distribution (Epson or Star driver), i. e. you should be able to address 
it like any other standard matrix printer. Just with smaller paper size :-)

Then comes the Gambas part: writing code that uses the printer object to 
write something to the printer, but you will not really have to care 
about technical background anymore. According to that description, this 
printer can print graphics, so the Linux fonts and stuff should be 
possible without big problems.
