[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Problem with Amiga PasTeX 1.2a DVIPrint version 1.07

I have had trouble using PasTeX DVIPrint version 1.07L to print
on my NEC P6200 dot-matrix printer.  (The P6200 manual claims that
the NEC P6200 printer is compatible with the NEC P6/P7 printers.)

I attempted to print out the PasTeX documentation file flib.dvi (which
I generated from PasTeX version 1.2a on my Amiga 2000 computer).
DVIPrint inserted an extra blank page after each page of the document
that ShowDVI showed should really be there.

I tried reducing the horizontal and vertical offset settings used
by DVIPrint, but this didn't fix the problem.

The older version 1.01L of DVIPrint does *not* exhibit this problem; it
printed the file flib.dvi correctly, without extra blank pages.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the P6200 not completely compatible
with the P6/P7, or is there a bug in the new version 1.07 of DVIPrint?
