Does anyone out there know what driver I should use to configure Windows 3.1 for an ANCIENT Panasonic KX-P1091 (9-pin!) printer? I have dug up the Owner's Manual for it, but it predates Windows by quite some time, so it's no help. It also doesn't say anything helpful like, "Your Panasonic KX-P1091 is 100% compatible with the Epson cX-nnnn." -- I checked, twice. Windows includes their "universal printer driver", which I am sure can do the job, but it doesn't list any Panasonic printers of this one's generation. I can get workable results by using several Epson models (MX80, FX100, FX100+, FX185, among others), but I get intermittent, unrepeatable failures when printing files with Win3.1's Write. For now I am assuming this is because I'm not using the right driver. (For anyone who cares, it just stops, anywhere in the file, in mid-line often, and then after a minute or so, the print mngr. will pop up and ask if I want to retry or cancel the job.) Unfortunately, retiring this printer to a more useful role as Senior Paperweight will have to wait at least a year, unless I hit the lottery sometime before then (I spent all available funds + then some on the computer, so the printer will have to wait..) If noone out there has any idea which printer driver I should try, then can someone email me a (current) product support line for Panasonic? (preferably 1-800-, or in eastern MA...).
