[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Olympia Printer Problems

slh@bbt.UUCP (horn) (11/05/90)

I am hoping that some kind soul can help me...

I own an Olympia Dot Matrix Printer (Circa 1983).  It is
near letter quality and I believe it is the NX model (I 
can check this if it makes a difference).  The printer 
was in storage for several years, but I have been using it
for the last few months.  It has barely been used and is
in excellent condition.

The PROBLEM:  This printer has a tendancy to consistently
jam the tractor feed paper and go off track.  I have cleaned
it, adjusted the tension on the tractor feeds, you name it.
I called tried calling  Olympia but they were no help.  Can 
anyone help and does anyone know if this is a problem with 
this brand of printer?  It is annoying, because it cannot 
printer more than two or three pages without jamming.

Thanks
Scott
