SUMMARY: printer half printing...

[Claude.P.Cantin at NRC.CA]

At the beginning of the week I had asked a question concerning  the fact
that the printer I had installed on a 4D/280S (on port ttyd56) would
only accept the first 8 to 10 lines of text.

I got two responses, one of which corrected my problem.

Special thanks to Tony who responded within one and a half hours after
I sent my question.  This is TERRIFIC turn-around (I opened a call at
the hot-line at the same time I sent this question, and they have NOT
called me yet!!!!)


Also thanks to Martin Liversage (operator at iris.kth.dk) who responded to
my querry.
