(I'm getting kind of desperate.) First, I have on a short term loan, an epson lq-1000 dot matrix printer with absolutely no documentation, and no easy access to same. If someone could send me some information on the dip switches, I would greatly appreciate the help. (I'm currently have problems with the paper length specs) Second, I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting an Okidata microline 182 _turbo_ to work with its parallel interface. I do have the documentation for this but still cant get it to work. Is ther something special to set in the dip switches? I've tried Okidata's customer support line (toll free=useless, toll = always busy). Needless to say, reply personally to MRG3 at PSUVM Thanks in advance.
