I had the same problem with a Panasonic 2123 printer and here is what
Softwood told me way back when ...
First, make sure that the printer is set to the proper defaults (no skip
perf, Epson emualtion, 0 left margin, 85 right margin, etc). Make sure you
understand what your printer defaults are and what they mean to the printer
itself. For instance, I thought I should be using 'skip perf' as a default
because I use continuous paper. Nope! Let FW set that for you by setting
'continuos' in the printer prefs portion of FW. My Panasonic was getting it
twice apparently, because as soon as I made this change, FW became a whole
lot more adjustable and stable in printing for me.
Then, read the manual real good on edit size vs print size. I had this all
screwed up? Somehow I had them backwards or something, I think? Been a long
time ago now.
Next make sure that you have the right printer driver. I am using the
PanaPrefs set-up printer prefs by Wolfe Faust. That works better for me
than the WorkBench EpsonQ driver does.
