Can't get my printer working right

T

The Fat Dad

I'm a Windows XP and VS.net newbie, so be gentle. I like my listings on
fanfold paper for debugging, so I bought an Oki ML391turbo dot matrix
printer. I hooked it up and everything works great except that when I print
out listings from within VS, it sends out printer formatting commands that
are incompatible with the printer. They override the internal setup of the
printer. I know that I have the printer set up right through the front
panel and that I have the right driver loaded and I'm running the right
emulation for the printer. Actually, it may not be VS, but Windows itself,
since the same
thing happens when I go to the Printers and Faxes screen and print a test
page to the printer. There may be some sort of default formatting coming
from Windows. In any event, unless I can find a way to make these tools
act right with my printer, then I've wasted several hundred dollars. This
would be, in my opinion, a serious flaw in a tool as sophisticated as
Windows or VS. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try a different driver. The "Generic Text Printer" driver would probably work with dot-matrix
