[comp.sys.ibm.pc] New Panasonic KXP-1124 24 pin printer and First Publisher

I just recently got a Panasonic KXP-1124 (new model) 24 pin job.  On Text
output, it is absolutely beautiful.  For the $329.00 I paid for it, it
was is a heck of a printer for the money.

One problem I have noticed though is that under First Publisher, the left
and right edges of the graphics screen are being cutoff.  I used to use
an Epson RX-80 (9 pin, 80 col) with First Publisher just fine.  The KXP-1124
emulates both the LQ-2500 and IBM ProPrinter X24.  I set the KXP-1124 to
the LQ-2500 mode and adjusted accordingly in First Publisher.  But it seems
that output has elongated somewhat such that the W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G. page on
the screen in no longer completely able to fit on the paper.  The right and
left edges have been truncated some.  I have fooled and fooled with the
front panel, etc., but in the IBM modes, it does the same thing.

Does anyone have any experience with this printer?  It is a new model but
seems very popular.  Is it the printer at fault here or does the use of 
a 24 pin printer (LQ-2500) with First Publisher demonstate the same results?

Please email responses and I will reopst if needed.  Thanks in advance!

Mark.
