>Hi all,

>I'm printing my report to an old printer Epson LX-80, but it can only print one line or a few line and then the printer is hang/stop until the error messages displayed. I have checked the printer setting like paper,graphics,device option but it didn't make any change, I'm suspicious that this happends because of the memory printer can not handle it, I try printing from Microsoft Word and it printed well. Can anybody help me ?
Printing to a dot-matrix printer has other problems, too: it may be extremely slow, because everything is printed in "graphics mode".
Perhaps you can solve both problems by printing in text-mode: create a text-file and send it to the printer with "???".
Some downloads in the UT can help you create these text-files, including my reporting class in download #
