Greg, I don't know about 'Fast Fix' but there are several utilities around
that turn off the key click for you.  My favorite fix is to turn the monitor
volume down. :)

Ref the screen dump, if your printer is only dumping about 2/3 of your screen,
then odds are your pixels per line setting in the Instal Printer modulue of
the control panel accessory are wrong.  For Epson compatible printers, the
setting should be 760 pixels per line, not 1280 which is the Atari default.
I think these are the right numbers but at any rate, try the lower setting
and then don't forget to save the desktop.inf file.
