Hi! Well I finally purchased a decent printer. I bought myself a
Nec Cp6 and i'm having some problems. I think that the only person
who could help is somebody that owns one. Anybody out there?
My problem is that all colors come out too dark when doing graphics.
The printer also always does two passes, even in black.
Can anybody help me?

I don't have that printer, but perhaps it has a feature like the Canon:
a switch to select bold printing. On the Canon the switch is on the
back, and causes two passes, just as you describe.

Or...
You application may be sending over the code for bolding. Try another
or different application.
Mikie?

Pardon me if I insult your intelligence, but are you sure
you have the right driver?

Yes...I do have the correct driver. i think my problem is with the
cable. For instance, when I execute a "Copy * to prt:" I can't do
a (cntrl)\ to exit. It just hangs there. Also the LQ, pitch, and
LPI settings have no effect on any sort of printout. When I made
a simple textfile in Notepad which consisted of 1 line of bold,
1 line of Italics, 1 line of Underline, and 1 line of all three,
the printer never gets the cancel sequences for the attributes.
There are only two things that could be wrong here. My computer
or my cable (no pin 23). What I'm looking for is somebody (who could
take the time to) give me the correct pinouts on both ends of the
cable.
Thanks,
