Hello, I have an old Tandy 220  daisy wheel printer at home.  I've been using
it from DOS for quite a while (i.e. copy file lpt1  works fine).  When I
got windows I defined the printer as "Generic/Text Only" and tried to use it.

The first time I tried to print a file from windows (yes, it was a text file),
the carriage just kept turning.   The second time I tried to print from
windows I got 132 columns of 2's and 3's.

I'm not sure where to look for a solution to this problem.  Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

				Adthanksvance,

P.S.  The coputer is an original 6MHZ IBM AT.
