Does it advance at all when printing, or only when pressing line feed?

If it doesn't advance when printing, look for a DIP switch that controls adding a LF to an incoming CR. Some systems sent both, some only sent CR. Having the switch set wrong would mean either overprinting on one line until a FF was received, or double-spacing everything.
