Well, I was hoping that this problem was going to be addressed by
the release of Microsoft's disks 'o drivers, but apparently not.
Rather than fight my way through Windows Technical support, I'll ask
my printer question here:
I'm running Windows 3.0 on a '386 Dos machine with an Epson FX-85
printer hooked up to it. I can NOT get the Epson driver to work
correctly with it. When I setup the printer and try to print something
simple out from, say, Microsoft Word for Windows, the type comes out
looking all wrong: 12 point type looks like 8 point type bold. In
addition, the printer driver is giving all sorts of weird margin
information to WFW -- Although the specified margin lines sit about 1"
in from the edges of the page, WfW acts like the margins are really
about 2", compressing everything in.
This isn't a problem with WfW or my computer: the Postscript
driver works A-OK and I've never had any problems with it. My old
Windows 2.2 driver worked fine when I was running the old version. It
was only when I upgraded to 3.0 that everything went wacky.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to
fix it easily?
