You have an old version of the Grappler LQ (version 1.0). Please contact 
Orange Micro at (714) 779-2772 about an upgrade. I believe the latest 
version is 1.7. It works with the new ImageWriter LQ driver 2.0 (actualy 
the driver is a year old now).  It is faster and has a much improved draft 
mode. Also the 2.0 driver fixes the way the text is layed out for much 
improved output.
