Hello Michelle,
>From the specs, it seems this printer is a DDST printer, which means
host-based printing (under Windows sometimes known as GDI printing) to
output the raster format for the printer:

If you are able to upgrade the board to one that handles a standard
language such as PCL or PS, then you can use open-source drivers.
There is also some development of a "GDI" driver for the SP100, so
maybe you can have a look at the code and see if it has any relevance
for your SP201N:
