1030.3LA70 is in IBM mode, OK in DOS:slow in WindowsDABEAN::NEARYBob Neary Lexington,MassTue Mar 11 1997 17:1012
    I have an LA70 hooked up to my pentium machine. In Windows95 (and
    WIN3.1) , it doesn't do 'buffering'. If I push to DOS mode, it 
    does bidirectional printing: works just fine. In Windows, it
    seems to be printing in 'dot' mode as supposed to 'character mode'.
    
    For example, in Netscape it takes ~1 min to print a page. I push to DOS
    and print the same file, it prints about 5 pages  a minute. In DOS
    mode it does bidirectional printing: zips right along. In Windows mode,
    it only prints in 1 direction and when it does print, it's slow.

1030.5Use generic text driveACISS2::FULTONOther Vehicle = Federation StarshipTue Mar 11 1997 21:546
    Don't use the LA70 driver- use the generic text driver instead.  That
    way the printer will receive the text in ASCII.  Of course if you have
    graphics, they won't print.
