We have discovered that our Okidata printers will not automatically
roll the paper backwards. This makes doing doing superscripting and
subscripting from nroff somewhat awkward. However, printing equations
from nroff on the printer is hopeless without the ability to roll the
paper backwards. Is this problem unique to the Okidata family of
printers?? We've got a Pacemark 2410 that we've be able to do some
nice plotting on and are willing to do what it will take to make nroff
print the equations. Has anyone done this already?? It doesn't seem
like an easy task. Thanks in advance.
