Hi, Does anyone know how to configure a Virtual printer to drive a narrow carriage Epson parallel printer? I've been using the basic Other Parallel Printer setup and it doesn't work well if you have long lines. Specifically, if you have a line longer than 80 chars, it does manage to wrap after the 80th char properly. But, the first char printed on the following line becomes the 82nd char rather than the 81st. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ywko

I recommend using 'smit', "Spooler...", "Manage Local...", "Manage Local...", "Virtual Printers", "Change/Show...". Select the printer in question and check the values for "_w" and "_L". I set mine to '_w=40' and '_L=+' and the printer cut lines over 40 characters in two. I used the "Other Parallel Printer" setup when I defined the printer.
