This is because Epson 24 pin printers are NOT FULLY compatible with 9 pin
printer. They are missing (at least) ONE escape command: esc 1 which set
line spacing to 7/72 inch and this command is used by the desktop. So you
can't print with alt-help on 24 pin printer except if you have a
print-screen driver replacement. I have not such auto prg.
