Many classic home computer programs rely on having a printer of this
sort in order to print, and while many emulators have a way to dump
serial or parallel output to a file, the only interpreters I can find
to turn that raw data into something useful are commercial programs
that I can't really justify the purchase of, given my student
budget...
Not sure of Epson ones, but there is one for the Apple Imagewriter
I/ADMP which is part of LisaEm.
It's based on a C-Itoh 8510 (I think). So if that's enough for your
needs, you could rip out that piece of LisaEm and use it.
If you have full docs on specific Epson printers that you're looking to
emulate, somewhere on the net, that might be useful too.
