I was writing a simple program to print to my Epson FX-80 that would allow
me to use the printers modes; ie. condensed, expanded, double-strike; etc.,
when I found an interesting problem.  If I am not mistaken, the driver for
the printer sends an automatic "skip over perforation" signal.  This really
messes things up if you set the printer modes to 1/8 inch line spacing and
try to get 88 lines on a page.

Has anyone else seen this problem or have I missed something along the way?

I'd appreciate any hints, suggestions, comments, etc.

				Thanks in advance,
