TITLE: bug in EpsonX[CBM_MPS-1250] source on Devcon disks 
 
	There is a bug in the source code given out at DevCon for the 
EpsonX[CBM_MPS-1250 printer driver. 
 
	The original lines are... 
	if (PD->pd_Preferences.PrintShade == SHADE_GREYSCALE) { 
		bptr += x; 
		do { /* for all source pixels */ 
 
	The line 'bptr += x;' should be REMOVED!  It is incorrect as 
approximately 10 lines down the line... 
		*(bptr + x) |= bit; 
					accounts for x. 
 
	The EpsonX[CBM_MPS-1250] driver given out at DevCon DID NOT have 
the bug compiled into it.  It was simply a documentation error in the 
source file. 
 
	Driver writers beware! 
 
	Regards, David Berezowski
