[comp.windows.ms] NEC Pinwriter

Has anyone had either success or failure (like me) using the printer driver for
the NEC pinwriter series (24 pin) as supplied with windows 3.0? All I get when
I try and print are a bunch of formfeeds and no text.

There is section on troubleshooting in the manual that describes this very
problem, but I have checked out all the things they suggest and no help. One
of the potential problems was a bad driver. I have re-loaded it off the
original disk's but still the same.

I don't think it is setup or hardware because it used to work under 2.1, and
if I load the epson lq driver (the NEC has epson emulation) it works. I would
like to use the driver tailored for it, but for now I guess I will have to use
as is.


Thanks,
