I recently purchased an Epson JX-80. I was aware at the time that Epson had stopped making JX-80's but bacause it was cheap and because I know how reliable Epson products are I went ahead. Now I am frightened. I find that it is almost useless with the Workbench V1.1 release of the printer drivers. Is there any way to fix the printer driver so that it doesn't produce spurrious line feeds? Will Commodore-Amiga stop updating the JX-80 printer driver because the JX-80 is no longer? If there is a simple way to modify my printer driver to remove the extra line feeds, please let me know. Also, if there is anyway to get a new printer driver without waitinmg for the June release of V1.2 I'd like to know that too. Mike MSTARK@YMIR.BITNET ucbvax!ucla-cs!muddcs!ymir!mstark

This problem typically occurs when a printer cable has (Amiga) pin-14 (auto-linefeed) connected, especially with Epson printers. Check your cable! A quick check is to copy a text file to PAR: instead of PRT:. If the extra line-feeds go away, its probably the cable.
