In four years of Mac use, I've run into some strange problems, but there's
always more where they came from...

About once a page, my Imagewriter just decides to feed forward about 4 lines
or so, then continue printing exactly where it left off. 
What's weird about it is that it never used to do this, and so far as I can
tell nothing's changed for months (same mac, system etc, imagewriter, etc.)

Has anybody else run into this problem?  Have any ideas what might be
causing it?

I have a Plus, with Imagewriter 1, using ImageWriter I/II direct-connect v2.6 04/13/87 driver.
It seems that the problem occurs mostly after the printer has been on or 
working for quite a while, suggesting that it MIGHT have something to do 
with the printer heating up.

Thanks,
