I have posed this question on the "printer" newsgroup and have received a deathly hush. I hope that someone here can give me a lead. I have recently switched to W95 (clean installation - new equipment) and have connected my Epson LQ570 (ESCP2) printer. Printing from W95 programs (Word, Excel,Wordpad etc.) and using the tractor drive results in 4 blank lines being inserted the first time that a double line feed is encountered and page breaks are then misplaced for the rest of the document. It doesn't happen with manual feed and DOS programs are ok. I am using the ESCP2 driver that comes with W95. Epson say that they have not written any drivers for W95 and I can find no updated Epson drivers on the Microsoft website. As far as I can make out from the manual the dip switches are set ok. Oh! And when I run the W95 printer test it says "Congratulations etc..etc..", but those 4 extra blank lines appear after the heading. Any ideas anyone? Grateful for all suggestions (other than replacing my printer :-(). TIA -- Roy Orrock
