5268.0. "WordPerfect Panasonic KXP-1124 driver doesn't work" by FSCORE::KAYE (where's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-g) Thu Dec 12 1991 20:23

I just upgraded WordPerfect to 4.1.12. After i did this i was
scanning thru the printer drivers & noticed Panasonic KXP-1124. I had
been using the Epson LQ-2500 up til now.

However, i can't get it to print properly...
    i get double spacing, it can't seem to right justify

If i reselect the Epson driver, it prints fine. Is there something i
have missed?

I just installed/enabled the 32K printer buffer, but since the Epson
driver works fine i don't think that can be the problem.

I tried to disable Auto CR, but it didn't make any difference.

5268.1Any switch settings need to change?XSNAKE::WILSONTLLead Trumpet (Read that...LEED!)Fri Dec 13 1991 09:313
    Is there a switch you originally had to set on your Panasonic to make
    it act like an Epson?  I know I had to do that on my (older) Panasonic
    when I discovered there was no driver available for it AS a Panasonic.

    I just stumbled across this usenet posting last night. And a check of
    the recent ab20 directory listing shows the file to be there.

    If you know how to request files from ab20, I'll let you go ahead and
    do it on your own, otherwise send me mail. (I thought there was another 
    recent note asking for this driver as well).

Wich is wrong ;-( There is a panasonic driver available
called PanasonicPlus. You should find it on ab20 somewhere. Maybe
it's also available on CompuServe, but make sure you get version
>= 5  . The driver is much faster than Nec_Pinwriter, supports
68020/68030 and more...

5268.3drivers from ab20...STAR::DCARRGuru: a 4-letter word to Amiga ownersFri Dec 13 1991 11:169
    Due to popular demand :-) and a fast response from ab20, the following 
    files have been uploaded to eot::amiga:[upload]

    PanasonicPlus-V5.readme
    PanasonicPlus-V5.lzh

    You're on your own as to whether these work, I've only got an 1191.

5268.4Just use the Epson selectionCSC32::K_APPLEMANFri Dec 13 1991 12:0111
    Since the KXP-1124 does FULL Epson LQ-2500 emulation, why not just	
    keep on using the Epson driver?  This is what I do and have never had
    a problem with it.
    
    re -.2 There are no dip switches on the KXP-1124.  There are some
    EEPROM-type memory selections that can set the printer to either epson
    or I*M ProPrinter emulation.  I don't really know if there is even a
    "native" Panasonic mode.
