Recently switched from Novell/W98 to W2000/XP.
I have one app (VB6) which sets form 'width' and 'height' and utilises 'newpage' to print to an Epson LQ-2080 Matrix Printer. All ok on the old system but form controls do not work on XP. I have tried driver from the original Epson CD and also driver from XP.
If I take out the form control commands the printer assumes a bottom margin and inserts a couple of lines.

Printer is attached to network via DLink print server (tcp/ip).
Any help would be appreciated !!
 
Have managed a solution: - Created a form on each XP PC
which uses the app. and removed the relevant printer commands from the program.

Thanks anyway
