I have a Mac 512E (upgraded to 2 meg with a Dove upgrade), hooked to an Epson
LX-800 with a Grappler cable.  Every once and a while (say, every few months),
the printer starts to produce gibberish (lots of weird characters, page feeds,
most anything but the text I'm trying to print). I've tried checking cables,
turning the machine on and off, and most everything I can think of. This goes
on for several days/weeks, until one day it stops Has anyone had this problem?
I had similar problems with an ImagewriterI I had before. Does anyone know how
to fix it?
HELP.
