- I have one problem with Final Writer an my Panasonic 2123 printer.
-
- I have tried every printer driver I can find including Wolfe Faust's
- PanaPrefs printer driver set-up, BUT I still have the same weird problem.
-
- I can type in a document in Final Writer, save & print or print & save. ONE
- TIME! On a second attempt at printing, my printer will form feed out one
- full page, back up one page or less, then the printer head will go to the far
- right like it has intercepted a control character that it can't interpret.
-
- The only way that I can reprint any document is to power off the printer
- for ten seconds, power it on, then reprint. A three finger salute isn't
- enough. I can power down the 3000 and printer, then go back into FW without
- a hitch and re-print any document.
-
- I am using a Panasonic KX-2123 printer, an A3000/25, WB 2.1, and FW4.01 ...
-
- My FW print prefs are the normal defaults with the PanaPref printer
- selected, using 'continuous' paper. I have density set at 180x180 and
- threshold set at 6.
-
- I get excellent prints of any document the first time around so I think it
- has something to do with the printer not clearing it's buffer properly?
-
- What's really screwy is that I can use CygnusEd or Fullview to print
- documents as many times in a row as I want and they turn out fine?
-
- Also, if I set the number of copies to 2 or more in FW, they all print just
- fine.
-
- HELP .....
