[Koha] Printing Slip Issues

[gsl]

We have several of the Epson U220xxx printers, and have them working 
fine w/ FF on XP. There is a bit of trickery involved--if you use the 
driver installer for these, when finished then you have to go back and 
check each setting in the printer setup. Make sure all the settings are 
correct, and most importantly, make sure that the printer is on the 
right port. If you have a USB printer, make sure it is on the USB 
port--by default likely it won't be. If you have more than one USB port 
(seems to commonly be the case), you'll have to try putting the printer 
on each USB port, or delete all the USB ports and let Win recreate the 
USB port when you plug the printer back in.

Nicole: I had a lot of this documented in the wiki write-up I sent to 
you several months ago. If you want exact settings for the driver and 
what we have set in FF let me know. This also applies to the length 
problem mentioned below-that's a paper setting, and as I recall you have 
to use something counter-intuitive.
