It’s obvious, read what is not there, then form an opinion, in other words be a politician
Home safe and sound...

For f... sake. I was attempting to be graceful in my annoyance at Walter's pedantry, The phrase "being something of a" is very common in the English language, as can be seen via these Google search returns...
For those of you who know me and for future elucidation this was not a swipe!
If anything, it was directed at Walter
as to his absolutely perfect command of the English language
(and I mean, perfect command). In some cases colloquialisms do not translate and the nuances of the English language or any language may be missed.
One must know Walters unique humour and to have a pint of beer with him is something to look forward too. Next beers are on me when the COVID runs its natural course.
I have always stated that English is my second language; I have no first language as I am always learning. Walter is a good teacher
My statement was an oblique way to inform Walter as too the phrase “read between the lines”. That is, read the meaning which may or may not be intuitive for some. I couched that in a politician swipe. Sorry to any engineers or scientists on this forum that are also mayors or etc..
I will never forget my first “swipe” from Walter
I had a good chuckle and did not take offence to it. I mentioned that I had my father over for dinner. Normally everyone would understand that I did not eat my father but Walter did ask “how did he taste”? I should have stated that I invited my father to partake in dinner with me and, that he would not be the main course, with my mother as the appetizer. I took it as a humorous poke, and did not take offence.
If I want anything edited prior to print I will send it to Walter
That is a promise Walter.

Now onto your printer paper posting, very informative and thanks for the pictures.
My use of the infrared printer is extensive due to its portability. I have noticed on all three printers, both HPIL and infrared that it will always print the first 4 lines very quickly then each successive line print is broken by a pause . This must have something to do with the buffer.
Does anyone one know if the slow print rate is buffer related?
