YOU CAN TRY TO LOAD EITHER AN EPSONLQ80 OR IBM PROPRINTER. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE MOST UP TO DATE DRIVER FOR THE WINDOWS VERSION YOU ARE USING. THEN HAVE PEACHTREE PRINT TO THE EMULATION DRIVER.

We just experienced a similar problem with an Okidata 380 Microline. Try "installing" the Epson LQ1170 Scalable Font printer to your system. Then select that printer and print to your Okidata.
It took us a couple of hours of "trial and error" to discover the one that would work on our printer.

(Peachtree Technical Support told us the Okidatas are not listed as supported printers; therefore, you must define your Okidata as something else. )

Hope this saves you some time.
