I've been trying to understand why my Print Shop images don't print correctly when using the Virtual Epson MX80 option in APE for Windows. The text portion of the output is missing portions of the letters, and looks like the program is skipping portions of lines when generating the image. The graphics portion of the output is mostly okay, but does miss some pixels. I've tried lots of different settings in Print Shop and APE for Windows with no better success.
I've attached two images to show the problem. The Virtual Epson MX80 image comes from APE for Windows, the SG-10 images comes from the actual dot matrix printer.

I don't see this problem when printing text from the Print Shop screen magic option, or when using the Awardware software.
I can obviously avoid this problem by using my SG-10 printer, but I was hoping to be able to work with my grandsons to print old fashioned computer generated cards without having to rely on my 35 year old printer and dwindling supply of track feed paper.
I am hoping that someone else has seen this problem and found a fix for it.
