I have also experienced the same sort of problem. I have a Citizen MSP-10
printer. With the EpsonX[CBM_MPS-1250] driver, I get a 0 printed whenever
the printer is sent the initialization strings. Then I do get 80,96,136 chars
per line, but of course this is unacceptable with a 0 printed on the
page. If I switch to the EpsonXold driver, the printing of 0 goes away,
but now I only get 80 and 136 columns of text (10 and 17 chars per inch).
I have lost that 96 which is very helpful. Am I screwing up ? Is it difficult
to write my own driver ? Certainly the Citizen MSP-10 is a popular printer.
BTW, I'm using all 1.3 stuff and no non-CA shells, etc. Thanx.
