I just bought a db25->centronics connector to hook up my ST to an old
Seikosha GP-100A printer (I believe it was also marketed by Commodore
under a different name...this is the printer with a one dot print head).

Unfortunately, characters sent from the ST arrive ddoouubblleedd at the
printer.  This printer works correctly with other computers...is there
something slightly out of spec about the ST printer port, or have I simply
missed something?

Thank you for any help,
