A client of mine has a new Epson c80 inkjet and an old Hp Laser. It prints fine in the old dos mechanic program with the laserjet but when printing with the epson the font is much to large and the page becomes two or three pages. The company that makes the dos program is out of business. How do I correct this problem?

Start by looking at what printers are supported by the program.

If you are lucky, one of the older Epson DOS drivers will work with the new printer.

If not, you will need to review the specs of current printers from the supported manufactures.

What you are looking for is a printer that has native emulation of one of the older models.

It may actually be easier for the client to upgrade to a new program that performs the same task. In addition to supporting newer printers, the new program likely has other improvements that will improve productivity. These improvements may pay for the upgrade and training costs.
