Hi folks,

I requested help in creating a printcap entry for a Panasonic KX-P1123.

Thanks go out to <ept@eptsun1.ctd.ornl.gov> and <hoogs@alc.com> for sending
a sample of printcap entries for similar machines that work for them and
ideas on why my set up wasn't working and thanks to <rhallqui@rigel.uark.edu>
for sending a master printcap file which includes examples for many different
kinds of printers (if anyone is interested in a copy of that, I will happily
forward it to them). Cheerful scratchy printing noises now fill the room!

Here's what eventually worked for me:

lp|pdot|Panasonic Dot Matrix:\
        :lp=/dev/ttyb:\
        :sd=/var/spool/print/pdot:\
        :br#9600:\
        :ms=litout,clocal:\
        :lf=/var/spool/print/pdot/pdot.log:\
        :sh:sf:\
        :pl#66:pw#80:\
        :mx#1000:
