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.
Thanks in advance

There is a DIP switch on the main logic board that is documented in the 
Service Manual.  

Position 3 open causes a CR to generate a line feed also
Position 3 closed causes CR to cause a CR only

Position 4 open causes CR to be disregarded aftera LF or CR
Position 4 closed causes CR to NOT be disregarded.  

Sounds like switch 3 is what you need.  

The Service manual can be ordered from a local store or direct from 
Tandy Consumer parts (with a credit card).  Their number is 817-870-5600.
