Mary,
Thanks for the reply.
It is Microsoft's driver (unidriver, v5.0 internal, some
dlls at 5.1.24xx) not Epson's.... the one embedded in XP.
I have just tried the Windows 2000 driver from Epson
(v5.0 AE external, v4.96 internal, some dlls as high at
5.32), and it will allow Visio to work.
I did manage to get Word to work with XP Embed version.
Epson driver has the Epson look and feel. A better UI...
It would be nice to get the Microsoft version updated,
but, at this point with the work around, I could live
without it.
