You may have a real problem here. The Radio Shack printers do not necessarily
have standard Centronics parallel ports on them. Someone may have to do some
custom wire hacking for your friend. It sounds like there is a timeout delay
that results in the characters being fed so slowly. A check on this would
be to try printing out the parallel port PAR: without using any printer
driver as in PRT:.
