Okidata Microline 590 problem

[Guest]

At our business we have been using our accounting software (Data Pro) with Windows 98se and an Okidata ML 590 which worked great. Last week we got a newer and faster computer with Windows XP, installed our accounting software and hooked up the ML 590. Now I cannot get it to print certain custom forms in the software such as payroll checks which are 7 inches long. It does the 11" reports and things just fine. I have adding another printer icon with different settings and created a custom form in the print server as described in the Microsoft Knowledge base. I have also tried setting the Printer hardware settings, but no dice. I use the Epson emulation on the Okidata. The Okidata site says that the built-in Unidriver in XP should work, but it doesn't. Data Pro called me today and told me that Okidata printers just won't work with XP. Any suggestions?
