While using this program, MicroCase Analysis System, I attempted to
print a page with text and a graph on it.  What came out was
unintelligible text.  The first course of action I took was to query the
Epson web page for ideas.  The following is the advice I got from them:

Since most DOS applications were developed before this model printer was
designed, they will probably not provide a specific printer driver for
this model. Instead, you can select an alternate driver from your DOS
program if available. This printer and driver is designed to work with
Window applications and therefore DOS applications may not work properly
in every case.

For color & monochrome printing select:
LQ-2550 or LQ-860 if available.

For monochrome printing only select:

LQ-850
LQ-510
LQ-500
any other LQ- model
EPSON 24-Pin Compatible
EPSON Compatible 24-Pin Dot Matrix

If none of these are listed, call your software manufacturer for printer
driver updates.

I tried every one of these drivers and they all gave the original
results, unintelligible text.  As far as printer driver updates are
concerned, should I go to Microsoft since I’m running Windows95?

After this, I went to the MicroCase home page and e-mailed them for tech
support.  The following is what they suggested:

Check your printer manual on how to print DOS programs, or how to
emulate one of the three printers we support.  Is your printer a
dot-matrix or inkjet?

I e-mailed them back, stating that the printer was  an inkjet, they
replied with:

Ok, if it is an inkjet, then you need to figure out how to emulate a
Cannon Bubblejet, as that is the only inkjet we support.  Emulation
procedures are found in your printer manual.  It also would be worth
finding information in your manual about how to print DOS programs (as I
mentioned in the last message)

How can I do this and is this a viable option?  Can anybody out there
help me with this frustrating problem?
