He will get one line nice and dark, the next line light, then dark, then light, etc. The problem cropped up rather suddenly and happens in all text print modes (draft, nlq). He has tried new ribbons, different paper, cleaning the printer, and adjusting the paper thickness setting. While the new ribbons made some improvement, nothing has totally fixed the problem. A preliminary check with a dealer drew the response "it will be about $200 and we should be able to fix it." Yea sure, $200 and they don't even know what the problem is! Has anyone had a similar problem with the ImageWriter II and been able to fix it? Any suggestions will be most welcome. Thanks in advance. -- Larry Colton {att,bellcore,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!lc
