A couple of weeks ago I noticed my HP printer was no longer printing two sided pages. Strictly speaking this was with Linux but it could happen with the Mac as well since they use the same printer driver software… I figured it was an application problem with Thunderbird and Firefox since all the other applications (and computers on my LAN) worked fine.

The following fix will help prevent this problem: Start your printer driver routine with a JSR FC58. This will home the cursor and clear the screen. Do not return to the screen…
The Apple II paddle I/O Port is immediately available to connect an RS232 type. serial mode printer.
