I can print from my Epson printer clearly with MS-DOS application, but I am getting garbage from my Windows word applications. What is the problem?
Try printing the autoexec.bat file from MS-DOS. Type "print autoexec.bat >prn. If this looks fine, go to Windows and make sure the correct printer driver is selected. Disable Print Manager and Fast Printing Direct to Port in the Control Panel. Reconnect the printer cable and try printing again. Sometimes the Video driver in your Windows OS is the culprit of the problem so selecting a different VGA or VGA driver then reinstalling the printer will fix the problem.
