When I bought my C64 system last year, I knew nothing about printers, and I
bought a Seikosha SP1200VC printer, which hooked up directly to the C64 (it's
a Commodore Compatible printer).  However, when I run GEOS, the printer driver
I must use is the Comm. Compat. driver, which cuts off the right 1/4 of the
screen, and lowers the resolution.  The SP1200VC, however, is capable of 
printing the entire screen in full resolution in its ASCII mode.  The Comm.
Compat. driver runs the printer in CBM mode.  
Does anyone out there have a driver for my printer which runs at full res?  Or
know where I can get one?  I planned on altering the driver with GEOAssembler,
to make it work, but I haven't been able to disassemble/edit the driver.  And
I don't know enough to write a driver from scratch.

Please help!
