Msg 45295 is 11 line(s) on 11/27/91 from JERRY OLSEN to BOB SULLIVAN re: R/PRINTER QUESTION As some others have suggested, the problem *could* be in the printhead. Unfortunately, this sort of problem can have quite a variety of causes, which you would need to address one at a time. Among them. . . .The alignment of the printhead in relation to the carriage may have become mucked up. Many dot matrix printers have alignment screws. Have you checked the manual? A related possibility would be to adjust the carriage, though this is less likely to help. A bad contact or line on the cable can lead to results like this. For many printers, replacing the printhead is more costly than it's worth, but some of the cleaning ideas you've received might help. I've also seen this type of problem when a chip which instructs the printhead goes bad. Msg #:?.
