I have a TRS-80 model III and a Centronics 779 printer with a parallel
interface.

I have two problems when I try to print to it using BASIC.

1. No line feed after a line of output (using LPRINT or LLIST),
   unless I specifically put a CHR$(13) or CHR$(10) at the end of the command.
   Do you know what the TRS-80 III puts at the end of each line?

2. When using LPRINT "HELP"; : LPRINT " PLEASE"  The " PLEASE" overwrites
   the "HELP" on the same line, rather than continuing from where it left off.

I also can't get lower case letters to print..they all get shifted to
upper case, and the letters are very small (can I change sizes?).

I have no documentation for the printer, so any help you can give me
would be deeply appreciated.

If nothing else I could use the address for the company that made this
printer and maybe I can write and get some documentation.

Thanks, Mark Roth (roth@sally.utexas, roth@ut-sally)
