You don't say which Imagewriter, I or II; first ones flat, II is sloped &
does colour. Despite Eric's comments re age, IMW II was a very good, robust
21 pin printer. The most usual problem is a faulty cable. Running the test
page is a must, checking all 3 levels, ie draft, regular print & Near Letter
Quality. HTH.
