Hi there!

Some friends of mine are having some problems with their 1027 letter quality
printer.  They are using AtariWriter on a 65XE ( I think it's AtariWriter--
it's been years since I've worked on my 800 system! ).  The problem is that
when they try to print out a document, the printer starts to print, but then
with now warning, it starts to print garbage and skip spaces and such.  I'm
150 miles away from where they are so I only know what is wrong from what they
say over the phone.  Any suggestions for a fix, or does it sound like the
printer is dying for good?  I have suggested cleaning the printer up and
checking the cables, but after they swapped in some good cables the problem
was still there.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
