- Good question. I just know that it does. Printing is fine from VGA, 8514,
- Crystal Fonts, and mach 8 Ultra modes, but is messed up in mach 32 modes. I
- have a Panasonic KX-P1124i, and very recent Windows drivers for the printer
- (11/92) I believe. Many of the Epson and IBM 24 pin printer drivers do not
- work properly either. I have had some luck with the Epson LQ-2500, but that
- only supports 360x180 dpi output, which is really stupid looking considering
- the nonquare logical dot shape. True type fonts printed in this mode are most
- heinous looking.

- >If anyone else has bug reports, please post. I've FAXed my two bugs to both
-
- I've tried calling ATI and Gateway, but they really haven't seemed interested
- in the specific details of what goes wrong.
