Message-ID: <15288@netnews.upenn.edu> Date: 9 Oct 89 20:58:04 GMT Sender: news@netnews.upenn.edu Reply-To: wist@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Bundy Wist) Distribution: na Organization: University of Pennsylvania Lines: 16 I just became the new ownwer of an ancient printer, the Radio Shack TRS 80 Line Printer V. The problem is that when I print a file, it gives two carriage returns for every one in the text. According to the manual, there aren't any dip switches. I think that there must be some control characters that I need to send to the printer to print properly. Does anybody else have this dinosaur? Any ideas on how to make it print properly? It seems like a really fast printer and I would like to have it printing without the extra spaces. Please email solutions. Thanks in advance bundy wist@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
