PLain text printing nightmare Outlook 2000

[DJ Jeff Rush]

Hi,

I have outlook 2000 installed on Win98SE. Connected is an Okidata
Microline 320 printer. I can print fine from notepad, from the unix
terminal program, from word, from excel. But I just can't print
properly from outlook. It prints and the print head goes back and
forth erradically and doubleprints over letters, generally acting
strangely.

I've performed all the office updates and machine updates.
What do I do now?

Have you tried updating the printer driver? Outlook is particularly hard on
printers and video - installing a later driver often helps.
