My workaround for this is to leave the printer on the XP Pro workstation and share it with a Win 98 workstation. Not too bad, IF you have a Win98 machine to work with. I just have to go into the other office to initiate any printing of checks. I stick a polite "Hands off" sign on it so that no one else posts the checks until I have verified that they printed OK. I use this printer only for checks. Here's what I did: On the XP Pro -- 1. Deleted existing Text/Generic printer. Rebooted. 2. Reset the printer itself to factory defaults (just in case) 3. Go to Printers & Faxes and run "Add Printer Wizard" Add Text/Generic as a local printer and share it. 4. After the wizard is finished, go back into the printer properties. On the sharing tab, click on additional drivers. Check Win95, 98 and ME, so it will add them. On the Win98 workstation -- 1. Added printer as a network printer. Browsed to it, through Network Neighborhood. 2. Go in to properties and make sure it is set to use the Text/Generic driver. 3. On Paper tab, leave page length set to Letter. Set to Continuous - no page break. I hope that Microsoft will address this eventually, before all our Win98 machines die.
