[ 4 out of 5 line eaters prefer the taste of A-1 line sauce ]

I finally found the problem with extra line feeds in my output, while printing
graphics to my gemini-10x; the answer was in the Enhancer (KW/WB 1.2) manual,
on page 8.  The entry for page 7-8 of the manual "Introduction to the Amiga,"
revision D, says that the cure for blank lines in dot-matrix printout is to
select Custom paper size in preferences.  What I wanna know is why?  Is this
a bug or a 'feature'?  Is this a problem under WB1.3?  Has anyone else ever
had to set the paper size to Custom, or am I the only poor unfortunate slob?
Is anyone still reading this?

Question to CA:  What difference does paper size make?  Why does this
		 hack work?
