Printing Problems at DOS after Using the OKI24.DRV in Windows (94165)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q94165

SYMPTOMS

After you print in either mode of Windows using the Okidata 24-pin driver (OKI24.DRV), you may have problems printing from an MS-DOS command prompt or from MS-DOS-based application in Windows.

These problems include:
  • All MS-DOS printing is triple-spaced on an Okidata ML 393 after printing in Windows
  • All MS-DOS printing has extremely small line feeds, and an entire page prints in only a few lines on an Okidata ML 393 Plus after printing in Windows.

CAUSE

The problems occur with the OKI24.DRV version 1.0 dated 3/10/92 that ships with Windows 3.1. The Windows driver does not appear to be properly resetting the printer after use.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
