    I had a similar problem with Proterm 3.0 and AppleWorks 3.0 when I
first started printing to the bubblejet through a ProGrappler card.  The
text screen would mess up, but nothing else was affected.  Your parallel
card might be echoing stuff back to the computer or setting softswitches it
shouldn't.  I solved the problem by setting the ProGrappler to
"transparent" mode.
