As I recall, the TRP-100 is at least 95% control code compatible with the other "middle phase" (post LP-IV, pre DMP-2000) monochrome dot-matrix printers that Radio Shack sold.  Try the codes for the LP-VIII as a base.  (Loking at the collection on Ira's site www.trs-80.com the DMP-130 is probably the closest).
