I have a problem I hope someone can answer. I have a panasonic kxp1124 and I have downloaded the files from the printer driver section, used preferences to select either of the 2 that I downloaded, saved the configuration file to my boot disk, rebooted… but anytime I access the printer from any program or CLI, the computer pops up with a guru error, asks to shut down all disk activity, and click <cancel>, I have found the low end "fx" driver for epson works, but I bought a 24 pin printer to use all 24 pins, not just 9 🙂 thanks for anyone's help in this manner, (oh, and the EpsonQ driver doesn't work either grrrr.)

I use the NEC Pinwriter driver for my 1124, it works great! (and supports 360X360 resolution) I'd suspect your problem is probably some corrupt file in your DEVS directory, though it's kind of wierd the the FX drive would work, unless its actually the printer driver thats corrupt. I'd try making a new Workbench disk from your originals, or by recopying your DEVS directory to your hard drive, if you have one. If that doesn't work could you describe the GURU better.

sure thing, will mark the guru error number down after I cause it to do so and will get back to you on this subject… will do as you suggest also, and see if that solves the problem… thanks 🙂 Brian.

Brian, Probably a silly question…but did you extract the drivers from the archive file before you installed them? Don

yes, I got one file, panasonic.020 and one called panasonic1124 after unarc'ing them. they are each about 7k big, and were found on the printer driver's dl section. all questions are not silly, only the ones that aren't asked. Brian. /

Brian, Ok…well, I don't know what to tell you then. You might want to try to contact the author…see what they say. Don

Brian, I have both of the drivers you downloaded, and they work fine on my machine. The panasonic.020 prints a little faster on my 1124. Its nice to be able to chose which font to use from within ProWrite–IMO the NLQ print option with font 2 gives the best looking output. Roger
