Epson TM-U220 Matrix Printer not printing in WinXPP

Hi basiime

possible issue is port configuration. if the generic text driver works, apd driver should work too.

what may be happen is that when you install the apd driver the other printer drivers that you have were still using the same port that your apd driver were using. example, you have generic txt assigned to lpt1 and then the apd were assigned on the same port, this is were you get the trouble.

what you must do is, first, check any printer driver that you have using the lpt, say for example, you generic text is using lpt1, when you install the apd driver set it to lpt2. apd drivers will create a new port normally called esdprt. try to use that port but if that will not work reassigned the port of your apd driver to lpt2 printer port then uncheck bi-directional support. from there you should be able to print..

hope that resolves your issue.. =)

Have you tried to print directly to the printer without spooling the print documents ? Try, on the Advanced tab for the Printer Properties, to select "Print directly to the printer" instead of "Spool..."

I have finally managed to print by downloading another driver meant for TM-U200. Obviously there must have been a problem of compatibility on the P3 PC and the TM-U220 printer. On the newer PCs (P4), the appropriate driver works fine.

Hello i got the same problem. i tried everything the whole day but to no avail...i guess it's on the computer and driver itself coz i used a working printer on the pc that i'm working the same problem occur. please help
