Textcraft and preferences don't get along.  Although I haven't been able
to solve the problem, I have figured out a way to live with it.  When you
first boot up Preferences sets up your printer.  Later when you use
Textcraft, textcraft tries to set it up the way you specified in
your textcraft document.  To make everything right, start printing a
document with textcraft and then immediately stop it (use the cancel icon).
After doing that turn your printer off and then back on, that'll clear
everything out of the printer.  Now when you go back to use Textcraft
everything will work as you expect it to.

Here's another interesting problem.  I'm using telecommunications on my 
Amiga to connect to a PDP 11 to write assembly programs.  When I bring the
programs back to the Amiga I want to print them on my FX in the condensed
mode.  Normally, when using my IBM (gasp), I'd just reach over to the FX
dip switches and set the one for condensed (brute force, but very effective).
This doesn't work with the Amiga.  Apparently, Preferences overrides at least
some of the dip switch settings.  Didn't know you could do that.
