I picked up a Daisywheel printer (I know it's ridiculous) the other day. It was $10 and it appeared to be unused in original box with manual. I don't have a daisywheel so I thought it would be fun to play with. So I took it home, plugged in to my Windows 10 system, installed the "Generic Text" printer driver and it sprang to life. I seriously doubt it's ever been used.
Anyways, there is a problem. The majority of characters print out just fine, but there are about 7 characters on screen that will not print correctly. These are the on screen characters and the characters that are printed instead:
` = °
~ = ™
^ = ©
\ = ®
{ = §
} = †
| = ¶
What would be the cause of this? Do I have the wrong Daisywheel installed? Is there any kind of mapping I can do to fix this or is this a lost cause?
