No problem, do what I do - delete the lot and start again.  :)

ALM> I can't find any OS2 drivers on the Epson web or ftp sites. 

Why am I not the least bit surprised to hear that?  The latest version of
the OS/2 Omni drivers have new ones for the Epson 820 and Color IIs, but
they won't do colour printing in 720dpi mode, which is a bit of a pisser.

Yeah, the printer actually came with some quite exceptional Win311 and
Win95 drivers, but fuck all for OS/2 (so what else is new?).

No matter Alan, thanks for the verification anyway.  I'm obliged (almost).
