- I thought I had a similar problem (resident fonts) with an Epsom LQ-510,
- until I fiured out that Epsom (In it's infinite wisdom) had manufactured
- two different printers with the same Model Number (LQ-510) one had more
- resident fonts than the other. How's the driver gonna know you have the
- older one, without the extra fonts ?
-
- Don't know about the panasonic, but wouldn't be surprised if they did
- something similar.
