I seem to be having problems with my 1027 printer. I use it (infrequently) to print out Atariwriter files, but it seems to print garbage or nothing for some lines until it warms up. The last time I tried to print out, it took five or so runs before it shaped up, but this time it took twenty or thirty and failed every now and then after I got it going, something it's not done before. Does anybody know why it might act so oddly? Is there an easy fix? ************************************************************************ | | Russ Perry Jr russell@uhura.cs.wisc.edu "Feed my brain with your so |||| 5970 Scott St 824 Perlman, Sellery B called standards; who says || / Omro WI 54963 Madison WI 53706 that I ain't right?"--Metallica /

Instead of trying to fix a 1027, you would be much happier trading it in. Send the printer, plus $75 to Atari, and they will send you a brand new XDM121 daisy wheel printer. Although not well known, the printer is supported in AtariWriter+, and is quite capable. Considering the poor design of the 1027, an exchange is really the best way to go. I'm not totally sure of the price, but maybe somebody from Atari can verify this. =cf=
