The double spacing is caused by the fact that somewhere between Orca and
the printer, some routine is sending an extra LF after a CR.
If you can find out which routine it is and turn the feature off, you
may even solve the scrambling problem as well! Because if the computer
is sending some extra bytes in graphics mode (every byte with value 13
is followed by an extra byte with value 10) this confuses the printer
into printing something else from what the computer thinks it is
printing.
