I have an Olivetti PR2300 ink jet printer that I'm trying to get to
work with a 1040.  Does anyone have any ideas how to go about doing
this?  The printer documentation says to send an STX, then the ASCII
information to be printed, then an ETX.  I tried this using the
c_prnout GD routine, but nothing happened.  Anyone have a clue?

BTW, I believe this computer was made to be used with TRS-80 Mod 3's.
