[QUOTE="aviator, post: 206755, member: 8107"] I have a pretty old 24-pin matrix printer Epson LQ-100 ESC/P2. It worked perfectly for years till yesterday when it started to leave horizontal blank spaces in printed material. I think the problem is not with the printing head because every part of text or graphics is printed - the printer just separates some lines too much. For example... one row of text is printed correctly and another one with the same text is divided with blank horizontal line, position of blank lines varies in rows but it's the same after every eight row. I checked and i'm sure it's not a problem with OS or printer connection. I wonder if that happens because I hitted the printer a bit since I had some other minor problem with printing (omg what a stupid way to try to solve it! :))??? After that I pulled paper in and after the first two rows were printed correctly the printer stopped printing the page, then every time I would turn it on it would start to print something in French (maybe help) pulling paper forward and backwards(???) or characters in alphabetical order (parts of the test page?) and I'm emphasizing that every row of text was printed correctly! (Maybe this happened because I pressed button for changing fonts in DOS because I suspected it was jammed?!) I solved that by turning my printer and my computer off and then I realized there's a new problem with printing... Is there a way to reset some printer settings, I think there's no such option in XP...? Friends thank you very much in advance, it's urgent! [/QUOTE]
