Sorry but it's been ten years (read: DOS style printing) since I used one of these, and it probably was a ML320. If they're still as sturdy as they were then, it'll last forever.

Not sure about this particular model, but there may be a way to turn it into an ESC/P printer and treat it like just another Epson dot matrix. Most of the printers of that generation had that as an option - with maybe a slightly reduced feature set. They'd usually have their native language, and then they'd all also speak ESC/P. Fujitsu 2200, 2400, and probably the OKI ML 320 had that. Just RTFM carefully, chapter DIP Switches.
