I just bought Prowrite recently, and have been having troubles dumping files
to my Okidata Printer.  Here's some of the symptoms:

   *  When printing plain text (Topaz 11), the computer sends an initialization
	character (P), which gets printed in column one of the first line --
	which ruins the alignment of the rest of the line.

   *  Every few lines, a double space is inserted for no apparent reason (it's
	not in the text file, and happens for all files).

   *  When printing in graphics mode, the program sends an initialization 
	character (1 this time) every few lines (I don't have any output
	here, so I can't be quantitative).

The printer type I've selected is CMB_MPS1000, as was recommended in the 
Amiga 1.2 Update Manual.  The Okidata was previously used in conjunction 
with an IBM PC; I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with it.  I've
tried toying with the Okidata dip switches, I've tried using other 
printer drivers from the preferences printer menu, and nothing works!

If you can offer me any suggestions at all,  please do!!  
Please e-mail me responses, and I'll post the solution when I know it!
