Hello All,
I have two questions.

1.  How can I speed up the printing process using Word Star and a C1526 
printer?  Please don't flame me for the printer the price was right a couple
of years ago.  Currently the printer receives a line, prints it, seems to 
think, receives another line, prints, ad infinitem.  Is there a way to 
install Word Star or the CPM + to tell it the printer has a buffer?  If so
how big is the buffer?

2.  Also how can I receive an update to the CPM + system to recognize the 
modem port without using a modem?  When I sent for the utility disks from 
Commodore (In January) I didn't get the updated version.  I have seen the 
update files in the simtel pd but have no way of getting them down.  I don't
have any friends with a C64 and cpm or any with a C128.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Jim
