Radio Shack TRS-80 DMP 100 Printer info n - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

  One of the problems with using a RS printer on a PC is
that the RS units 
 all (most?) add a linefeed in the printer firmware.  If you do not know 
 the escape sequence to disable it everything comes out doublespaced.  And 
...
  not all of their escape sequences were the same.

I've never had a problem with that...they usually print the info on the
back. My problem is the the early DMP dot matrix series (before 134,  I
think) will not respond to many PC parallel ports. I've heard that Radio
Schlock has a cable to fix that, but they said no.

Anyway, these early DMP's respond to most modern motherboards. Don't know
why.
