Well, it turns out that the problem in with my printer itself.  If I
had RT(printers)FM first...  The error has something to do with "A
short circuit between the collector and the emitter of a head
transistor with a shorted dot driver winding" once I figure out what
this means I may be able to fix it.  However, I think that the repain
shop might have a better chance.  But, thanks anyway to those who
tried to help.

      disjointed jottings linked by spurts of speed...
      it only looks as like it as damn it.
