EPSON Printer |
|
|
I need help with an EPSON printer.I have an EPSON FX-890 printer. I have a
Windows 2000 server with HIS 2000. I can't seem to figure out what print
driver to use. I have tried the Epson driver as well as many others and just
get symbols to print. The only driver I actually got english to come out
with was the GENERIC/TEXT-ONLY. The only problem with that is that it cuts
off about a third of the job. Any ideas out there? |

When you say it cuts off a third, is that horizontal per page, vertical per
page, or just at the end of the job?
Can you post the sna print config for the printer? If you script the whole
config with "snacfg /print" you can copy/paste out the individual definition.

Serge,
The differences I have to the below on my working prints (no vertical cut-off)
are ...
I use an HP4 basic driver (don't know if that's compatible with your EPSON)
/FONT:Courier \
/FONTSIZE:8 \
/ORIENTATION:Landscape \
Not on-line at the moment, so can't lookup your Epson model to see if it's
laser, inkjet, line etc. to see what could be relevant.

Serge,
I have some PDT's that proclaim to be for Epson FX printers. I will email
them to you. No personal use myself though, but they're worth a try!

RE: EPSON Printer |

I use these printers quite alot. Mostly I end up setting the page with to 140
or more Chars on the SNA print setting and and use the Generic Text Only
Driver wth US STD FF for the print driver. Sometimes setting to landscape
helps. There are several places to set these settings. Eventually it should
work.
