I figure you can't do that for that one machine - it would probably mess up printing on the others. You could check the setup of the printer - though it's been some five years since my last contact with OKI dotmatrices - and see if it uses standard ESC/P or some IBM or self-emulation mode. Try to set it to the same as the other printers are. Try to swap printers. If nothing else works, install a standard ESC/P driver instead of whatever MS thought fitted OKI best.
