My house mate has a problem with Apple Works on an Apple IIe.
He's trying to print on a Brother HR10 or a IDS 440 printer.
Both work fine when used with Pfs:Write or VisiFile. However,
when printing from the Apple Works spreadsheet, something
is inserting an extra carridge return about every line and
2/3rds (that is, the first line and 2/3 print, then a return,
then the last 1/3 of the line, the next line and the first 1/3
of the next line, and a return; with the expected returns in
the correct place:
--1A-- --1B-- --1C--
--2A-- --2B--
--2C--
--3A-- --3B-- -3C---
--4A--
--4B-- --4C--
--5A-- --5B--
--5C--
etc, etc, etc.
My only thought was that somehow the printer driver was inserting
returns every n (some constant) characters, thinking that that was
the length of a line. I don't know anything about Apple Works,
though, so that's only a guess--will someone who knows for sure
set me straight?
(Please reply directly to me, as I don't usually read this
group, or to kevin@xv.mit.edu; as usual, if there's any
interest, I'll summarize to the net...)
