Re: Major Dot Matrix Printer Problem Using Win2000
Hi
To get greater security we have recently switched a small network from 98
and Millennium to Windows 2000 Pro
We have 3 dot matrix printers printing different sized labels, Our software
is written in Visual Basic and relies on Setting a User Defined Page length
to move on to the next Label.
All the printers and the printer Drivers worked well under 98 and Millennium
by setting the pages properties to User Defined, but with using the windows
2000 printer drivers there is NO User Defined Properties for the printers
Which is making all the software useless.

Q). Does anybody know of a Epson dot matrix compatible printer driver for
Windows 2000 pro that can be set to User Defined paper page size.
Q). Does anybody know of a printer that the driver for Windows 2000 pro can

I use my Epson LQ2180 (heavy duty & wide) dot matrix for label printing in
W2kPro-SP2. Epson's W2kPro driver works admirably. The driver has a whole
bunch of page sizings. Though I have to say I have not seen, or even
bothered to utilise, a *User Defined* page setting in my particular driver
set.

All the Epson driver stuff is available on Epson's FTP site for
downloading. Previously I used the following URLs...

and my access details for my FTP client are...
ftp.epson.co.uk/pub/uk/drivers/printers/inkjet/pc

best wishes, Robert
