The Epson driver is compatible with Epson X-80s, etc.
The MPS-1000 driver can be used with IBM compatible printers.

I'm not familiar with the Star Delta 10.  But if its not compatible
with either of those, you could write a driver for it yourself.

It also could be a hardware problem with the printer line feed mechanism,
or with the printer head.

Or, since the first thing that happens when you start a graphic print is
that the printer is sent a HARDWARE RESET, perhaps the Star needs more
time than we allow to recover, and be ready to accept data.

If you have MacPaint, you probably have an ImageWriter...V1.2
supports the ImageWriter II.  I think that the ImageWriter I was
moderately compatible, right ?
