I need an answer and sofar have not found one!

I have been using Deluxe Paint for a few months now, doing simple black
on white syntax diagrams (very boring stuff).  The problem that I am having
is that when I dump the picture to lets say a Panasonic KX-P1093 dot matrix
printer, the last row of dots in the slice gets overlayed with the top row
of dots of the next pass.  What this means (or looks like) is instead of a
consistant shade of black, it is interlaced with a one dot overstrike every
pass.

		    etc.......

I know you may suggest, did I read the manuals, try all the preference
settings etc. Of course!  So what gives.  I've talked t two local dealers
and they experience the same problems on an Okimate 20, all Star and Epson
printers and the list goes on.  EA claims it is not their problem, I verified
this because a dump of MEMO to the printer does the same thing.  My only
thought is the EPSON printer drivers?  Amiga HELP...........

Also, through other developers I've obtained a bin copy of another version
of Micro Emacs V 0.7.  It seems that this originated from Amiga CA.  It
is quite impressive, with pull down menu for most of the uEmacs commands.
The only problem is that it does not unallocate memory on exit.  This means
a rebooot to do anything else usefull.  All in all, quite impressive.

I this version did originate from the Amiga Boys in CA, could you post the
sources, if not, will the real uEmacs/Amiga hacker please stand up!!
