As long as there are “printer drivers” for the dot matrix printer in  
“cups” or whatever printing subsystem you’re using, why would printing  
to a dot matrix printer from Ruby be different from printing to any  
other kind of printer? In short, this sounds more like an OS  
configuration question than a Ruby language question.

I don’t have printers on my Linux systems, so I can’t help you. 🙂
