take this line eater (what is a line eater?)

In response to your problems with the DMP110, I had much the same problem
with a DMP105 connected to an IBM compatble--everything came out double-
spaced.   I found the easienst solution was not to muck about with drivers,
but to simply send the printer a set of escape codes telling it not to do
line feeds after carrieage returns, but only aft LF characters.  I did this
with a Turbo Pascal program which also set a selected print density.  You
should be able to do this with just about any programming language on the
mac except Lightspeed pascal.  For som reason, on some macs LSP inserts a
nul (00Hex) after every character when you send directly to the printer.
This makes it impossible to send escape sequences.
