	Greetings. I got a printer at a swap-fest with no info
	what-so-ever + it was broken. I fixed it (the PS blew)
	but have no documentation at all.

	The printer:

	Integral Data Systems 440
	Paper Tiger Printer Model # 440

	It has a db-25 connector and a patch for an Apple II
	20 pin header, ribbon cable.

	1) Is it parallel or serial?
	2) There are 2 dip switches, what do they do.
	I guess I could play around, but...

	Thank you for any replies.

	Take care and have fun (in that order :-)

	P.S. Why such a large distribution? Because the printer
	was made in 78-79's and it can run off 220V 50Hz.. so 
	someone in Europe or elsewhere might have one.
