I have some printers here locally that I used to use with a TRS80 computer.
These printers ASSUME a linefeed when they see a carraige return. Consequently
when I plug them into a PC and try to print everything is double spaced. I.E
the printer sees the CR and does a CR/LF and then it sees an LF again and does
another linefeed. How can I change the system so it knows NOT to send the extra
line feed? It is not possible to reconfigure the printer. Do I need to write 
a driver?
