I have a cable that interfaces correctly between the FX85 and a PC laptop and have connected the printer RESET line to pin 25 on the Amiga parallel connector and disabled the +5v output at pin 23. My problem is that using either of the EpsonX printer drivers, when I "copy to PRT:", I still get the extra line feed after each line is printed. This doesn't occur when I perform the same operation on my Okimate20. With the conversion form LF to CRLF that AmigaDOS performs, I also get three spaces after every printed line from Scribble!. When I "copy to PAR:" or "copy to PRT:RAW", the conversion is not performed, and it operates as it should. But since I assume Scribble! outputs to PRT:, that doesn't help much. I was wondering if anyone else had been through this? Is it a cable problem? Print driver? (Also, which one is correct for the FX85). Scribble!. Some combination? I appreciate any help, as I was looking forward to using the FX85. Thanks, Ken Fiduk MCC CAD Program 3500 W.
