I recently upgraded a work station that uses an epson dfx 5000+ dot matrix printer on lpt1. All the applications work fine with the drivers XP assigned, exept mas90. when printing in mas90 it prints dark through all 4 copies but inserts $ signs and stuff in place of numbers and such. I can use another driver set up in mas90 "P1 dfx 5000+ (dos)" it prints all of the text just fine but does not go through all 4 copies, very light on last page its like draft mode for some reason. there ia another workstation sharing this printer also on lpt1 (switch box) with windows 98 o/s and it prints just fine so i know the physical printer settings are ok, if anyone has any ideas ill try anything this is very frustrating thanks
