Tiny thing I have noticed #3

Thanks so much for sorting this driver out. git clone, make, make install and it 'just works'. Awesome. I have noticed that it seems to clip the last few bytes or something. For example, if I print a small textfile:

$ lp -d SLP200 textfile.txt

the descenders from the letters in the last line are missing. If I append some sacrificial text to the end of the text file (for example, 8 or 10 full stops), then these don't print but the last row of letters come out complete. So it's like some clipping is happening. I think it might be happening to bitmaps as well, but missing a row of pixels is less obvious.

I don't need a fix for what I'm doing, and I very much appreciate having a working Linux driver, but I thought I would mention it.

Cheerio

Have attached an image to show; upper is the text file printed as given. Lower is the same file with a row of 8 dots added at the end. No dots, but complete letters.

Note: Debian 10 (current as of 21 Sept) 32 bit.
