I have the Okidata Microline 292 printer.. It has a 16 pin print
head.  It produces marvelous graphics on my IBM in 16 pin mode,
but unfortunatly the Commodore printer driver for the Okidata 292
is set at 8 pins, thus producing HORRIBLE quality printouts. All
it takes to put the printer into 16 pin mode is CHR$(27);"#B" but
I have no way to keep it in that mode, because the driver automaticly
switches it back to 8 pin mode.  I could have gotten an 8 pin
printer for half the price, and I certainly want to get some use out
of this thing!  
 
 aaaaarggh
