Subject: Need to replace printer

I was very fond of my Laserjet III which lasted me many years until the 
fuser unit broke. Sadly, a new HP laser printer (1050) was less than half 
the price of the fuser unit for the III. Only trouble iro my BBC is that 
I can't get the printer to line feed. It doesn't acknowledge any of the codes
that the BBC might send. Whole document gets printed out on the one line.
Printer works fine with the PC, however. The III had no problem with the
BBC. I miss it!
