I need help getting LaserMatrix set up on my printer.  I do not understand
the printer command codes and need someone to coach me through the print
driver set up.  The program looks like it could help me tremendously...
if I can get it to run.

I have a Shinwa CP-80 printer; also known as an NLQ 180-II from Computer
Direct of Barrington Illinois.  It is both Epson and IBM compatible and has
worked (nearly) flawlessly with other commercial and PD software.  It works
great under GEOS.  I use a Super Graphix jr printer interface; set to
transparent mode.  I have also tried both the Epson and IBM modes to no
avail.

I have tried a number of set up configurations fro LaserMatrix, but all I get
is a lot of beeeeeeping from the printer and then it begins to roll the paper
through several pages at a time.

Any kind soul willing to enter into dialog with me to help figure out how
to code my printer?

Thanks bunches in advance!!!
