Ever since purchasing the C. Itoh M-8510 color printer, I have been having loads of problems. Can anyone help on how to solve these (seemingly) simple (to solve) problems? 1. The printer DOES NOT UNDERSTAND the BS (08h, ^H, backspace) character and ignores it, contrary to the manual. 2. The Epson GRAFTRAX [FM]X/80 emulator supplied on the PC Itoh Utilities disk DOES NOT WORK. Output is garbage-like. 3. The escape sequences to change colors DO NOT WORK. It will not change colors by using ESC+"C"+color number. Also, it automatically changes the color to yellow (only time) when you sheet feed. The Self-Test also shows this. Yes, I was using a color ribbon :-) It is a parallel printer connected to the parallel port of my 640K AT&T PC 6300 (normal). Thanks in advance, hou2e!ksl
