[comp.periphs] Printer prints double-spaced....why?!?!?!?!?

woolard@uns-helios.nevada.edu (Mike Woolard) (09/13/89)

    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

Try floating pin 14 at the Centronics connector.
