@RToD @ericsedge Some very cool printouts sent to my ImageWriter II (shared on #GlobalTalk via Simple Spooler since it doesn't have a LocalTalk option card.) I think this #MARCHintosh is shaping up to be the Year of the ImageWriter.

Am I doing it wrong? 🤷‍♂️

@jonschwenn Yes, that is definitely wrong. Maybe it's a DIP switch setting that isn't correct? I can dig up the defaults if you don't have a manual handy

@_the_cloud when I looked at the manual this looked right to me

@jonschwenn Those DIP switch settings all look correct to me as well. If you quit Simple Spooler and print something normally from the SE/30, does it also come out stretched?

@_the_cloud yaaaa I turned it off and on again and it fixed itself.

@jonschwenn That's actually useful information. The text printing shows that the IW II was in extended character mode. That's controllable through software. I could send an escape sequence to reset that before printing. Interesting that the normal AppleTalk ImageWriter driver doesn't do that itself.
