     A bit off topic, but I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has
     setup a Multi I/O card on a 256x printer.

     I have a cheat sheet that shows what the interface settings are:

     20:        00      38400 Baud
                01      19200 Baud
                02      9600 Baud
                03      4800 Baud
                04      2400 Baud
                05      1200 Baud

     21:        00      8 Bit, No Parity
                01      8 Bit, Even Parity
                02      8 Bit, Odd Parity
                03      7 Bit, Even Parity
                04      7 Bit, Odd Parity

     22:        00      Normal Operation, Software Handshake=None
                01      CTS Ignore, DTR always on, XON/XOFF Protocol

     23         00      Parallel Port Config

     24         00      Parallel Port Config

     25         00      Buffer Config

     26         00      PCL Emulation, Auto LF on Buffer Disable
                01      HEX Dump, Auto LF on Buffer Disable
                02      Epson Emulation, Auto LF on Buffer Disable

     27         00      Character Sets & Paper Control

     28         00      USA Character Set

     29         00      Active Port = Parallel
                01      Active Port = Serial

     The problem our client is having is that the printouts (connected to
     an NT server, via the parallel port, Generic/Text only printer
     selected) print (2) of every character.

     Apparently, he has tried changing most of the settings with no luck.
     I'm not sure exactly what settings 23 & 24 configure in the parallel
     port, and I'm thinking the problem may be in these settings.

     Any help would be greatly appreciated.
