Also Okidata still sells Dot Matrix printers that work either USB or Parallel. I have some older Okidata Printers still in use in our office. The stock we have to print on can’t be run through a Laser so we have to keep them around.

That’s weird ! If the LPT ports work for the laser, then driver problems within the software app ?

We have a client running a vet practice using a dos based invoicing system. He is now unable to get dot-matrix printers to work so we put in an HP LJ1200, but the page width is too wide. I know that putting the codes in a .txt file and then piping that to the printer in the autoexec will set the printer for the session, but I’m going round in circles. Does anyone here know if this sounds like a font, line size, cpi, or other issue with a single <esc> command to sort it? I really had thought I’d seen my last dos box ever!!

I think the printer may have crashed due to all the people on this list trying to load the management UI. :-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ -- Kind regards, Andrew Levicki MCITP:EDST7/EMA/EA,MCSE,MCSA,MCP,CCNA,ITIL ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
