With reference to the Alternative Printer Driver discussed by Christopher Chadwick in EUG #4. First of all, let me say how good I thought the program was, but for one thing, I could never get my GLP printer to go into NLQ mode.

On looking at the Driver program, I checked the line which should send my printer to work. Although I had copied it correctly, it still only printed in draft print.

      810 EQUB &00004645FF/HT 132
On consulting the Printer manual, I came up with an alternative code which was:
      810 EQUB &3031FF78/HT 132
It may be that there's something different about my GLP but if anybody else has had the same problem they might like to try the new code.
