RE: DOS Printing WinXP Pro

> impact printer. Prints on LPT1. This printer prints from a DOS app and has

> complete the remaining data on the last two inches of the form. After the
> 8-10 seconds are up, the printing will resume. All normal. Everything
> perfectly aligned, etc., etc. This happens on every form or report that we
> print. Things I have already done to try to correct the problem are,
> uninstall the driver and reinstall the driver using the latest from Epson.
