Okay.  This isn't a terminal, but it isn't a laser printer either.
This is the closest group I could find since we don't seem to have
comp.printers.

At any rate, the Epson LQ-510 has something called outline and shadow
character styles which are selected with <ESC>q[1-3], for outline,
shadow or both.  The problem is none of these commands do anything.
Dump mode shows they get to the printer but they don't turn on the
mode.

I suspect something in my dip switch set-up may be causing the problem
but I don't know and I don't even know where to start looking.  The
manual has nothing to say on the subject.  Every other command I have
tried seems to work except these.  Can anybody help?

I have the printer hanging on the printer port of a Wyse 60.  The printer
has all dip switches set to the factory default.  Baffling.
