I was asked to look at a friend's PC with Windows 3.0. He has
a Okidata Microline 92 printer and, while DOS will print
fine to the printer, WIndows will not. The correct printer
driver is installed, but it is feeding gibberish to the printer.
It "sorta" works in NLQ mode but in draft mode, the printer
actuall prints backward ..sorta .

I understand this is a common problem with 3.0 Windows. What is
the cure? Anyone beed down this road?

Thanks,
