I had that problem once before when I first purchased my A1000!!! It seems
that the typical cables that are made for the printer port of the Amiga's has
a particular pin connected that will (at least on Epson's) tell the printer to
do a MANUAL line feed (double spacing effect) after each line received!  So,
what I did was to hack apart my cable and remove the offending pin! 
Unfortunatly, I don't have any Epson (or compatible) manual's anymore.. So, I
personally can't tell you which pin to cut the wire on... Perhaps it is
explained in your Alp's manual.. Just look for the Centronics pinout and then
look for a pin that is something like... Auto-linefeed..?  I'm not sure if
there is an easier way to do this, but I know that was what worked for me..
