Hi,

	I have a friend who bought an ibm pc xt compatible.  Some time after
	she bought it, she had to have the hard disk repaired.  At that time
	the shop which repaired the disk took out the printer board for some
	reason -- in fact we had to go back a few times to get all the pieces
	back:  board, adaptor and cord to connect back to the printer.  But
	now the printer doesn't work.  It's a thermal printer (ugh -- but it's
	all she has for now).  My problem is that the manual for the printer is
	missing the last page which might have shown dip switch settings for
	the printer board, and I don't want to figure this one out the hard
	way.  I guess it's probably a serial printer.  Anyone know standard
	settings for such a beast?  Unfortunately I don't have the manual here
	in front of me for the printer model #; the people at the disk shop
	thought it came from a PCjr.

	Thank you in advance.
