Hi all again, What is joke for Espon Printer after HP... :p

In my company, we have Espon LQ570+, LQ1070, LQ1170, LQ2170 printers...

Even I download the most updated driver from offical site...

BUT a funny fact for those printer in CWin95 2.5C setting...

if you use LQ2170 driver for LQ2170 printer, even you print WORD, EXCEL,

it may make skip 1 inch height after print the header...

the whole word document is shift wrongly... ~_~

So, What should we do!?

---

When install printer driver, all above printer CHOOSE LQ1070 as install
in selecting printer in Espon Printer Dialog.

Then, you can Rename the Printer Name to:
e.g.
Espon LQ570+ (Use 1070 Ver.)

For LQ570+ printer... ^_~

Then, all A4 std printer setting will alright for those printers...

IT WASTE ME 3 MONTHS to fix the same report again and again!!

but finally found that Funny Joke

Good Luck!!

> My users uses diff. kind of printers. Some are using Epson LQ1170 and the others are using the newer model, the Epson LQ2170. I am using the US St. FanFold Paper Size. When I create my report using LQ1170 as my printer the paper size is 39 but if I use the LQ2170 the Paper size is 268.

>>PMFJI: Your program pretty much does what has been published by several others, including FPA. I took the NukeFRXPrintInfo program by Jim Haentzschel, and added some code to make it only drop the parts that should be removed. I also added some #define's to make it more version independent (ie: FP-2.x)...
