Tried that. Did not help.

>Old line printers, however, are tricky beasts to deal with. We have some around here. They're the size of a large barbeque grill and slow. I wrote a program to print labels to one in QuickBASIC (about 8 years ago). Recently I had to drop supporting it. One, I didn't have direct access to one for testing. Two, I no longer had a 5.25 floppy capable of writing in double density (so it could be loaded on a PC-XT). Three, I didn't have any of the manuals.

I say, let's get rid of the old junk...
