This is a little off topic but I know some on the list own Epson printers and can help with a problem I'm having with my C62:
The problem is that regardless of the font or layout on the screen, the printer seems to use its own font, larger than I use, and is still printing while the page is being ejected from the printer. The result is a double and triple printing of lines at the end of the page.
I should mention that this happens regardless of the OS, Linux or WinXp, laptop or desktop, OpenOffice or Word.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

Hey Rich. I've got an Epson C62 here and it works great. I've never used it under Windows but its never had the problem you describe above under Mandrake here...
Only problem I've ever had with it was when I used one of those cheap, generic "Amazon" refill cartridges. It growled, clacked, and carried on something awful. (wouldn't work either!). <grin>
I called Epson and they said put a "true" Epson replacement cartridge back in it and watch it take off. They were right. They also filled me in on something that I did not know - if you use a non-Epson cartridge, it voids the warranty. (that sounds like BS, but thats what they said).
It is BS. It's also against the law. *They* have to be able to prove that the third party cartridge was what killed the printer if you ever make a claim under their warranty.

Anyways, I'm running mine via USB, never tried the printer port. Which way are you running it and can you switch just to see if it makes a diff?
