/* ---------- "Inherited DMP-400 printer, no manua" ---------- */
I've been given a DMP-400.  I plug my PC's printer cable into it and
things seem to work well.. except for the following:
	* The printer double spaces.  Apparently seeing a CR causes
	  the printer to CR and LF.
	* Does the DMP-400 understand the horizontal tab (^I)
	  character?  I seem to be getting an "X" with a short line
	  over and under it.
There are eight switches on the rear panel for which I have no information.
Desired:
	Information on the rear panel switches.
	Is there a manual available for this printer?  The local Radio
	Shack says they can't help me.
	What is the 5-pin DIN connector on the rear panel used for?
