I got the exact drive for mine printer, and yes could be a wrong drive.
For EPSON LQ 300, we don't have the drive for that exact model, but near models
normally are the same drive, with a little luck. I would try LQ 500 ,
570+ (because the +) , LQ-2550 (may be LQ-255 more or less) and or one model above.
