Apparently some of these are not stopped by appletalk or the paralell port. Short of a re-do of the serial port control software in the printer, there is not much you can do. This is one of my pet peeves about postscript. The reason that the hplaserjet emulation works is that it has a special mode that it uses. I don't know which printer you have, but in general it won't work. > > > You will find that CR also get lost, cooked to LF's..... Cheers Woody
