I figured someone on this list might have the information I am seeking.
I found a Panasonic KX-P2023, 24 pin printer at my local Salvation Army
Store for $20. I have an old OrangeMicro (circa 1988) Grappler C/Mac/GS
cable that converts Quickdraw to several, 9 pin, parallel printers, and
can be set to do a serial to parallel conversion. I used to use it to
print to an Okidata 292 and to a Daisywheel. I am able to get the
Panasonic to print from the Mac using the printer's internal fonts in
draft mode, so I know the printer works and talks to the Mac. I found
and downloaded a printer drive called "Chuck's Printer Driver 1.4.1 " and
set it to enhanced Epson LQ which is what the docs say will print to an
Epson LQ 860 which is one the the printers that the Panasonic is supposed
to emulate. It almost worked. Unfortunately, not well enough. It
started out ok, but then started printing gibberish and spewing out blank
pages or pages with just 1 or 2 characters on them. I need to find a
driver for the printer that works. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 The Computer I am using is not networked to any PC's.

I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
