     I have about 50 Epson LQ570+ impact printers attached to Compaq
Presario 1470ES PCs running Win 95B and Client32-SP1.  I have created a
print server, queues, and printer objects in my tree.  The printers show
up and say they are connected.  When I network install the printers on
the PCs and try to print anything, I get a few strange characters at the
top of a page and then it keeps printing garbage on the first line of
the page, page after page. Epson suggested a couple other print drivers
to try but had no effect.  I have also tried adjusting the printer port
in dev. mgr. as standard and ECP.  When I print to LPT1 on the PC the
printer is connected to, it prints fine.

The port that the printer is connected to should be set to "Standard." Are
you running NPTR95.EXE on the workstations?
