SUMMARY
If you format a document for cyan, magenta, or yellow in some Windows-based applications, only the first page may print in color using the EPSON24.DRV driver version 2.23 that ships with Microsoft Windows version 3.0.

MORE INFORMATION
The problem occurs only if the color formatting crosses a page boundary and no other color changes occur. The problem occurs only with cyan, magenta, and yellow. Other colors print as expected.

This problem has been reproduced in versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, and 2.0a of Microsoft Word for Windows and in versions 3.0 and 4.0 of Microsoft Excel for Windows. This problem may also occur on other dot-matrix printers. This problem does not occur with later versions of Microsoft Windows.
