Absolutely! 

Thanks to Jim Pittman, I  have solved my problems. I am using the 500c
driver but can probably go back to the regular 500 driver. I changed
the dips on the printer from the ones suggested in the Harmonie manual
to the ones suggested from Jim. Things appear to be working just fine
now.

For those that wish to know how my dips are now set, here they are:

A1 & A3 UP (rest of them DOWN)
B1, B2 and B5 UP (rest all down) 

I am not sure why B1 (Text scale mode) has to be up but it works. Now
I have a working configuration, I can experiment around a little more.

I think that the key was really in the B2 switch. The down position is
75dpi and the up position is 300dpi. The software should handle this
but maybe not??

In any rate, all is well. Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.
