I've just installed Windows 3.0 on my 386 machine.  I'm trying to get output
to print on my Okidata 92 microline.  It's a really old 9 pin printer.  The
drivers included with Windows is for Okidata 92,93-IBM.  I assumed that this
would be the correct driver to use.  However, when I attempt to print anything,
it comes out as a single line of garbage.  Altering the dip switches might
be able to append a newline after a CR and might solve the problem, but since
I don't always run in windows, this solution would involve a perpetual changing
of the dip switch settings.

Any ideas as to what could be the cause of the problem?  Thanks in advance.
