Hi Alan,
  Exactly which application does not print ??  It could be 
something in that Apps setup (it's not a Win 3.1 app is it?).

Ignore my question in the last reply - you've answered it here.

I'm starting to suspect a corrupted os2sys.ini file. Do you know
how to use iniedit or inimaint ? I'd be tempted to de-install all
printers, go through the INI file and remove anything that refers
to either your old Deskjet or this Epson, reboot and then
re-install the drivers.

Thanks for all the help.
I have solved the quandry of risking repartitioning of my os/2 
drive. A gifted dx2-50 and mother board upgrade for A$130 to 
cyrix 233, 64meg, s3 video.
Not too much more than Paragon/PM and much safer ++ Gets the kids 
off my machine.

I still think I will follow up Paragon, this looks very usefull.

Subject: [os2genau] OS/2 Notes Client

Based on input and requests from customers and business partners Lotus
is
extending maintenance engineering support of the Notes/Domino 4.6x
codestream
until January 31, 2002.
The release of R4.6.7 in March 2000 marked the end of the regularly
scheduled
Quarterly Maintenance Releases (QMR) for the 4.6x codestream.  Periodic,
unscheduled
Quarterly Maintenance Updates (QMU) for 4.6x will be extended for
another year:
January 31, 2002, is the new End of Life (EOL) date for 4.6x QMUs,
superseding the
previously stated EOL date for 4.6x of January 31, 2001.  At present,
there have
been no QMUs issued for the R4.6x codestream.
Telephone support for 4.6x will be extended to a minimum of 12 months
beyond the
introduction of the last 4.6x QMU, which will bring the full time period
of support
for the 4.6x releases to almost five years.
The End of Service (EOS) date for Domino/Notes 4.6x Telephone Support,
therefore,
will be extended to at least January 2003; however, this date will be
evaluated
as we approach that time.

Cheers/2

I spoke too soon.
This morning I tried printing from my various programs and was able to do
so from all except Lotus Smartsuite 123. when I tried to print a range of
cells it would only print the cell borders and the background colours but
not the figures in the cells. I tried many times and in the end decided to
remove the background colours and try to print. Well at this point the
printer head moved a few times and then stopped and the green light started
flashing and the second light went red. Nothing I did helped so I had to
turn off the printer. I tried again with the same result. Rebooted and
tried again several times with the same result.
I then went back to windows to check that the printer was still able to
print and to my horror found the same thing happened. Tried to print from a
command line but no result. Also the maintenance utility wouldn't function.
Then rang Epson and they told me to try various things but no result so
they are giving me  another  printer.
I'll pick it up on Saturday. Hope this works better.

You may have a point here as although I delete printer objects and their
drivers if I reinstall the driver it says that the files already exist???
Also Warpguide is never able to fully install the driver and says that
install has failed as it has been unable to create a printer object.???
why.

I've got iniedit but don't know how to use it. Also got Unimaint but
haven't explored it's use with ini files.
How would I know whether the files referred to my old deskjet or this
Epson?  I guess if they had HP or EP at the start they would be candidates
but they may not have such obvious letters.

Regards

Alan
