I am no expert with ghostscript, however it appears there is a driver for
the Okidata Microline 320. Postscript can be interpreted by ghostscript on
plan9 and a bitmap of the page is then sent to the printer (rather than ASCII text).

Printing via ghostscript works - I use a cannon bubblejet printer on
plan9, but is it worth the effort supporting such an old printer when
bubblejets are so cheap these days?

this is my bubblejet devices entry:
