[comp.os.os2] IBM OS/2 1.1 epson printer driver

I use IBM's OS/2 1.2 and have problems with the EPSON printer driver.
The driver is installed for an EPSON LQ-500 24-pin printer.
Alternativelly I installed the IBM 4201 driver and this works well.
When I drag a file from the File Manager to the Print Manager's icon, the
file is printed correctly after some disk rumor. But with the Epson
driver, a protection fault occures after the disk activity and nothing
is printed. A "PRINT <file>" command works, as long as I configure the
driver for tractor paper feed. When I configure the Epson driver for the
cut sheed feeder not even the PRINT command works and I get a protection
fault too. I am wondering why the bug is not fixed since this is the
second release of 1.2 from IBM which I have ????

Does anyone know if an updated driver is available from EPSON ?
(IBM probably does not have one since they would have sold it to me
otherwise because I bought the OS/2 only some weeks ago.)
