[GreenKeys] [Asr-33] Printer problem

[tony.podrasky]

That could do it.

You might try wiggling the printhead and seeing if it moves.
You might try putting some finger pressure on the part that
rides on the rail and seeing if that helps.

Professor Goddard does not know the relation between
action and reaction and the need to have something
better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems
to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high
