>>Hi,

>>>Hi.
>>>I have a user and he has an OKI Dot matrix printer installed as an Epson emulated printer. This works fine.

>>>However, nearly every time he switches on his PC, XP tries to install the connected printer as an OKI and the user ends up with an additional printer installed as the default printer.This then either fails to print or stops printing from the APP.
