Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 22 Xref: watmath net.wanted:6960 net.micro.trs-80:369 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)
