Sorry for the delay in summarizing, but...
The solution was easy enough. Upgrade to Newsprint 2.x. I have since tried it on
NP 2.1 and 2.2 and it works perfectly. Jochen Bern gets an "A" for the correct answer. I had
tried this while waiting for responses, and found that it worked, so it was interesting to find that
this has been a general problem.
All agreed that the br= and other serial config statements were unneeded. Probably due to the
highly reliable Newsprint 1 analysis of the installation. ;) Thanks to all who responded. Next up,
a Jet Direct card for this same printer!
