Synopsis: printing

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: hoek
State-Changed-When: Sun Aug 22 13:02:33 PDT 1999
State-Changed-Why: 
It sounds like your printer needs to be switched into a special mode
to print plain text.

[For any onlookers, this is a Lexmark 1000].

Try booting into DOS/Windows and do this,

copy con prn

And tye in some simple sentences.  If your printer works as expected
when you do that, then I'll need to reopen this PR.  However, I
believe you will find that you have the same problem when you use
the above command.  You should read your printer manual, search the
Internet for info on the Lexmark 1000, and possibly contact Lexmark
and ask them how to change the mode your printer is in.

Good luck!
