Reciept printer printing garbage?

[Rearthbound]

I'm trying to run a thermal printer(jp qr 701) using cups.
I have set the specified baudrate yet my printer keeps spuwing out junk symbols.
(The printer is fully operational since it works fine with arduino)
Could anyone please help me with this?
Thanks.
