OS/2

Summary:

The Epson printer driver that is included with Excel for OS/2 (EPSON.DRV) prints landscape in a different orientation than it prints in Excel for Windows.

The Epson driver provided with Excel for Windows prints landscape on the right side of the paper and is readable from top to bottom. The Epson driver provided with Excel for OS/2 prints landscape on the left side of the paper and is readable from bottom to top.

For example, the different drivers print columns A through K as follows:

++          Excel for OS/2 prints |K     A|           up the left side of the page. Excel ^|        ||  Excel for   ||        ||   for    Excel for Windows prints OS/2  ||        |v Windows  down the right side of the page |A     K|           so that the fanfold paper reads ++          properly when opened.
