I wrote a printer driver for the Citoh ProWriter and tried to figure
out what ProWrite was attempting to do with NLQ mode since it didn't
work with my driver either. Well, I didn't spend much time on it and
thus it never made sense to me.  I suppose it would help to find out
just what ProWrite is trying to do here. I have tried NLQ mode on 5
different printers/drivers, and have yet to see it behave differently
from what you have described.

Can anyone enlighten me on this situation? Please. If I ever figure out
how to get Manx 5.0d to compile a printer driver in a straightforward
manner, I would like to get this working.

Thanks,
