I have a TRS-80 Line Printer VI that I now have hooked
up to my Laser XT with the standard Centronics printer cable.
Everything works fine except for one thing... Everything it
prints is double spaced (2 printed line feeds at each line of
single spaced text). Is there a remedy for this problem? I have
looked at the printer controls and do not see a switch to control
line spacing, so I am at odds as what to do at this point.
Any suggestions ????????????????????????
Any and all replies that may be of
assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mike Woolard

I have >looked at the printer controls and do not see a switch to control This is the second time I have seen a posting like this in recent months, so I'll post the "cure": a small TSR that converts a CRLF sequence into a CR. This program is useful for any early Radio Shack printer that did not have a way of separating CR and LF actions and works by taking over the BIOS interrupt. Programs that send data directly to the printer, or do graphics on printers so equiped, will fail (Sorry!). begin 666 printer.com MZ0@`$`(`````"@"\FO_'!@4!F/^]_O^)+@<!_.A+`+@`3,TA``````CD=1H) MTG46/`IU#BZ`/GX`#74&HGX`,.3/+J)^`"[_+H``7EA:6QZ.V[0ES2$?_^:T M-<TAB=B,P\.Z"P"X`#'-(>A5`!)05%(Q(&%U=&\@;&EN9F5E9'/H40#H/``+ M0GD@5&]M($%L;7GH/P"X%P#HOO^C)`&)'B8!NB0!4KJ``%*Z)P!2Z%$`C,A0 MNH0`4KH7`%+HC/_IH/];B@<PY$-34`'#6%I3B=/I(0"X#0#H"0"X"@#I`P`!

Check to see if there is a switch that says NL=NL or similar. You generally want the settings LF=LF and CR=CR. The problem is that the Tandy standard (before MS-DOS) was that CR only would also line feed (the TRS-80 series did this.) MS-DOS uses CR/LF, so the printer goes forward a line for the CR, and then again for the LF. Andrew Rossmann andyross@ddsw1.MCS.COM
