- I've had similar difficulties, although I haven't yet played with the
- printer enough to understand clearly:
- The lingua printer driver (9-pin dot matrix!) ignores a command to print
- multiple copies; after it prints the first copy, it stops printing, and
- (I think) the status line reported that it was done. Subsequent commands
- to print the same file elicited the reply "done printing" immediately, and
- this was true: the program was done printing and wouldn't print that file
- again, no matter what. I think that storing the file and then opening it
- again was enough to set things straight again, as long as I didn't ask for
- multiple copies again.

- To Bob Hoberman: I received your messge, but I don't think I was able to
- transmit successfully to you; please send me an accurate address.
