Throwing this in here as i've very little luck googling around for a solution or any more information...
We have a Ubuntu database server with raw print queues for multiple connected dot matrix printers (Oki Microlines)
Our software maps these print queues to networked printers installed on the local machine.
Other Windows 7 (32bit) machines have the printer installed as a 'Oki Microline 320 Turbo' and the port pointing to the Database server - //database/raw_p8 and work correctly.
A new machine i've installed is setup the exact same way, yet it prints garbage instead of anything readable. When changing the print driver to 'Generic Text Only' I get readable data but it doesn't line feed. Have tried the updated drivers from the Okidata website aswell as several other types of older printers (other Oki's, HP laserjet 4 and Epson LP).
Any ideas? Pointers? Thanks
::edit:: Update - i've now got it printing one line perfectly, feeding ok, but it's also printing a 'ghost' version of the line below it...
