So I just got this cable to hook an ImagewriterII up to my A1000.  Whenever
I try to print an image, it gets four or five page scans through it, drawing
the correct image, and then it goes nuts, spewing out form feeds and random
ascii characters.

I tried two drivers: one that came with the cable, copyright 1986 JRDS
BitWrights, and also the driver that came on the WB1.3 disk.  Both exhibit
exactly the same behavior (except the 1.3 driver is faster :-)).

I've tried this from DPaint3, PhotonPaint, and DigiPaint.  There's nothing
wrong with the printer, because my girlfriend uses it with her Mac all the
time.  Any suggestions?
