First of all, my understanding is that the Gemini printers will use the Epson
FX80 printer driver, so that you do not have to create your own.  Secondly, are
you inserting a c/r after these lines?  Normal text does not require a c/r
until you are at the end of a paragraph.  However, numbers, as in your example
would require c/r's as would any type of non paragraphed tabular data.  The
only other thing that I can think of is -- are you using the correct side of
the AW+ disk?  Even tho your 800 may have extended memory, it is not the same
as a 130XE and you cannot normally use the 130XE side of the disk.  I use AW+
all of the time now, with a Legend 1380 printer and a 130XE and have not
experienced the problems you noted.  Have found some others as one of my
previous messages indicated, but not your problem.

PS:  try using the Epson FX80 p/d and see what it does.
