I have two questions: 1) I have a Mega 2 which will not do (ALT-HELP) screen dumps properly to an Epson LQ510 24 pin printer. It appears that all of the information is printed, but it is compressed to about 1 inch vertically. Horizontally it's OK. Apparently the printer is not scrolling the paper far enough on each scan. Printing out text files works just fine. Any suggestions? 2) I need a program which will allow me to maintain a listing of, and then print out mailing labels. Any suggestions for a good PD or shareware program to do this? Thanks folks! * Craig B.

Any suggestions? | This is because Epson 24 pin printers are NOT FULLY compatible with 9 pin printer. They are missing (at least) ONE escape command: esc 1 which set line spacing to 7/72 inch and this command is used by the desktop. So you can't print with alt-help on 24 pin printer except if you have a print-screen driver replacement. I have not such auto prg. [question #2 deleted] | Thanks folks! | | * Craig B.
