In response to your problems with the DMP110, I had much the same problem with a DMP105 connected to an IBM compatble--everything came out double- spaced. I found the easienst solution was not to muck about with drivers, but to simply send the printer a set of escape codes telling it not to do line feeds after carrieage returns, but only aft LF characters. I did this with a Turbo Pascal program which also set a selected print density. You should be able to do this with just about any programming language on the mac except Lightspeed pascal. For som reason, on some macs LSP inserts a nul (00Hex) after every character when you send directly to the printer. This makes it impossible to send escape sequences.
