Yes we are. ALPE requires the printer port settings to change from the default
settings to the following:

        Buffering               Yes
        DCD Handshake           No
        DSR/DTR Handshake       No

This is not the way I like my IIgs to run when I'm not on ALPE. I'd leave it
this way but for some reason it tends to hang and print garbage if I do.
Therefore, I launch the eight bit version of ALPE (the sixteen bit version
will not run from my CMS for some reaon) and it hangs after the title screen.
Then I reboot and set the control panel the way it likes it and re-launch the
ALPE stuff.

I really wouldn't mind it except it won't work with other stuff unless I reset
it back to the default positions.

As an aside, I'm still waiting for my working IIgs version of software, my
t-shirt, and my gold key chain :)
