Why not use the EPSONX [CBM_MPS-1250] driver that comes with your 1.3 prefs?

Help Me PLEASE!!!!! I have a Panasonic KX-P1091i Printer that I can"t get to print. I have An AMIGA 2000, w/100MGbyte GVP HD, and 3 MG RAM I can not get this thing to print...Although the manual says to use EPSON-RX EMULATOR if there is none for panasonic. But I get nothing. Well, not actually Nothing, but just what appears to be random characters...I can"t figure it out. There are even fairly distinct differences between trying to print from Shell, or from using my Word Proccesor. Either way...it still comes out as gibberish... If anyone can upload a Printer Driver for y printer...or give me easy to understand instructions for writing my own I would appreciate it phenomonally. Thank You....

They are good candidates to cause random errors. If for example one of the data lines is broken you get totally different ASCII characters out of that transmission line. On the A2000 try to print from Notepad in text mode or from Shell, this provides simple character data. If you do a graphic screen dump with the program GraphicDump and look carefully at the result, you perhaps can detect a certain faulty bit (if this just NOT happens to disturb the control sequences for the graphics initialization). -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

I had similar problem once when I bought my NEC p6+. The characters sent to to the printer also looked totally randomized. The problem lay with a broken 8520 CIA which controls the parallel port and the timer. So if games like EMPIRE or other programs which use the clock don't work either...here's the place to look!
