Ok folks, can you give me some suggestions about this problem,

A friend has an A5000 with RO 3.0 and is using an Epson LQ500 
printer. Now Acorn don't supply an LQ500 printer driver so she
is using the LQ850 dirver instead. There are no problems with
graphics printing (stuff from Impression/Draw/anyting of that
sort) however text printing does not work. After every line
printed a from-feed is done.

Has anyone encountered this/found an answer? I would assume that
some printer codes are changed between models but this would
surprise me (I'm easily surprised). I've looked at the various
codes using PrinterEdit (or whatever its called) and they seem
ok.

A reply through email would be nice since I won't be reading
any news for a week or two soon (Merry Christmas everyone).
