Fortunately, the number of Kyocera drivers is small so you'll get an answer.

If you want HP compatibility, buy HP. No other printers are _truly_ HP-compatible, and they usually break down on TeX output (because of the downloaded fonts, of course). >The next step was to use the FX-80 emulation of the Kyo.

You should look at the firmware-version. It is a well know problem of older firmware revisions! Especially the old F1010 has this problem, the F1010 has never got a new release without this problem. I don't know the release status of the F2010. Our F1200's have the release 5.9-16. This release has the problem fixed! Also it is very important to set the H5 parameter correctly, we set it to "3" for XON/XOFF only. > *** >Does anybody use or have a DVI to Kyocera F-2010 converter.

But with 5.9-16 it should work with the original Beebe driver. I use the modified version because of an old F1010 we have to support.
