subject: Drivers needed

BG>> Could somebody with Internet access please check the Epson home page and 

BG>> let me know if there are any OS/2 printer drivers available for
the Epson 

 BG> 

BG>> Stylus 820 or ColorIIs Inkjet printers?  The Epson 800 drivers work fine 

 BG> in



BG>> mono, but are completely fucked for colour printing. I'd be eternally

BG>> grateful.  Almost.                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'd like to see that!!!!!



RB>> I'm ahead of you on that, Bill



 BG> Oh good, I tried the latest Omni OS/2 printer drivers, and whilst the 820 

 BG> and

 BG> ColorIIs are listed, the drivers don't support all of the printer's 

 BG> features,

 BG> such as 720dpi colour printing, etc.  At least I was able to install the

 BG> correct (supplied by Epson) drivers under Win-OS/2, and they work a 

 BG> treat.



RB>> I'll let you know



 BG> Please do, although I won't be holding my breath.



                           Please Do





I saw a file at the epson FTP site this morn, that looked like it was

for the IIs, 1.8 meg (sty2sdm.exe) and as there are no descriptions, I

thought it must be OS/2 & Win drivers and took a chance on it. 3 and 3/4 hours

later (heaven knows what soft of cps rate) I had it. and opened it to

find that it was just a demo print file called child, to print with Win95

I'll be back in at around 4am for another go sty2sdm



Might check out IBM, this time.
