- Two possibilities:
-
- 1) A bug in the driver. New Epson drivers were just posted to
- comp.binaries.os2. Get them and find out. I will have them
- installed soon and report back. (My printer is an LQ-500)
-
- 2) A bug in the spooler.
-
- I notice that the printer will mangle the top of a page if I begin
- printing from Word and abort the print run instead of letting it run
- to completion. I have to let a print job (any job) complete before
- the driver/spooler/printer reset properly to allow a new job to being
- properly.
-
- If I take care not to abort a print job, everything works fine.
