Hi,

    I am running 4.2/6.0 on my Mac SE.  For the past couple of months I have
had a problem with my IW II that seems to be getting worse.  As soon as printing
starts (or sometimes in the middle of printing) I'll hear a loud sound from the
print head (my wife says it sounds like BRRRRRHH) and then the print head uses
that position as the new left margin reference.  This can happen in the middle
of a line so that text sometimes wanders all over the place.  I have noticed
that using manual paper feed it seems to happen much less often.  The self test
seems to be all right so that I suspect either a cable or software problem, but
I am at a loss for what to do.  I'm using ImageWriter driver 2.6.
    Has anyone else had problems like this?  Any ideas? HELP!!
Please e-mail me any ideas, or post if of interest to enough people.

                        Scott     snyder@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu
