Over the years I have used several printers with my QLs, starting with the one that used thermal paper and I think was 'bundled' with my first QL from Dixons in Newcastle for £149. There was a wide carriage daisy wheel, a Star LC24-10 (?) and a few others. For more than 15 years an Epson LQ1000 worked perfectly until the underscore pin gave up the ghost. A new print head would cost about 80 quid so was out of the question. I picked up an Epson LQ100 which has given very good service and I recently bought from QUANTA a Panasonic KX-P1624 which I wanted to use for printing big spreadsheets - I have A3 paper. Unfortunately the printer drivers I made for the LQ1000 which also work with the LQ100 don't work with the Panasonic. I remember that it was quite an exercise constructing a printer driver, getting the flp1 and2, or ram1 and 2 to pretend to be microdrives, finding the right install_bas and install_dat and remembering to save the finished driver, and back in the day I did all this many times. This simple pedestrian procedure now looks a bit daunting but if I have to I shall learn it all again, though being a bit long in the tooth it won' be easy. I am hoping that someone out there has used this model and has made and kept the driver. If anyone has, and could send me such a driver I should be most grateful.
