I have a tandy 1000 and it came with a printer. I was wondering
is the printer supossed to print double space even if you don't want
it to. If not could someone tell me how to correct this mistake.
thanks in advance

Have you checked to see if the printer is doing an LF when it receives a CR. If so, there is probably a DIP switch that will remedy the problem. dmk -- "Don't talk to me about life...." Marvin, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ARPA: dmk@topaz.rutgers.edu UUCP: ...!topaz.rutgers.edu!dmk

I'm trying to anticipate the next question here: What if my printer doesn't have any DIP switches? Well, Tandy includes an installable device driver called LF.COM (or is it LF.EXE?). This eliminates the extra line feed. Both my Radio Shack printers require it to be installed, so I just add it to my AUTOEXEC.BAT file and forget about it. The command should be documented in the MS-DOS booklet that comes with the machine. -- =============================================================================== Chris Harting AT&T Network Systems Columbus, Ohio =============================================================================== "...Erase?!?..." -- Max Headroom
