I can't seem to get mine working. It always seems to hang for a long time with the blinking light (so it's receiving data) but won't print for a while, and when it does, it gurgles out garbage. I've already tried the trivial solution on the web page of the Handbook (sending a Form Feed character), but that doesn't seem to solve it. Please help! Also wondering how to set up the Ghostscript filter for Postscript filtering (but getting the thing to work for plain text is more important right now!! -- thanks!)
