Datasouth 220 Printer Question

A local company recently gave us a Datasouth 220 printer, and I have it
working after a fashion. The problem is, it's S L  O   WWW!

I'm using the parallel interface and 16 cpi but the 220 cps isn't
obvious. It seems to collect a line of characters very slowly and then
prints the line quickly.

It doesn't seem to matter what FTN 35's value is.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
