Let's start from this assumption: As far as I know--and I don't have a manual to prove or disprove this--the Tandy 130 printer may not support any other manufactuers printer codes. However, if it does, given the circa inwhich the Tandy 130 hit the market, it might ... might! ... support the Epson printer codes. And, if this is true, and since the printer was manufactured for distributed by Tandy, the Epson codes would be set via a dip switch; not software. Given the above: Break out your Tandy 130 printer manual and look up the dip switch settings. If you "do" discover that your printer supports the Epson codes then use a driver for the Epson MX or FX 80 or 100. Do not select any for the NLQs. You might also need to build a different printer cable--so check the printer pin codes between a DOS-ready printer and your Tandy 130. Good luck... -Rick-
