$I just got my hands on a brand new Panasonic KX-P1124 24 pin printer.  The
$manual states it is Epson LQ-2500 compatible so I've been using the EpsonQ
$printer driver in Workbench 1.3.  However, the printer is capable of printing
$in resolutions higher than those supported by the EpsonQ driver.  So I was
$wondering if anyone knows if a specific driver for the Panasonic has been
$written.

I've been waiting for an opportunity to talk about this printer!  Some may
recall I asked for any info people had on this printer (via email) and the
response was great (thanks everyone).  Basically everyone who wrote to me
likes Panasonic printers.  So I got the very same one you have (the KX-P1124).
I think the printer is --in a word--: AMAZING.

The printer:
- prints graphics at up to 360x360 dpi.
- can feed paper from the front, back, and underside.
- takes single sheets without unloading the tractor paper.
- allows tractor paper to be torn off without wasting a sheet.
- prints in 5 different fonts (each at 4 or 5 different pitches).
- emulates Epson LQ2500 & IBM ProPrinter.
- prints at around 200 cps in draft, and 63 NLQ (twice as fast as 9 pin)
- can be had for around $320 mail order!

(What makes you think I like this puppy?)

Anyway - to your specific question!  Use the Nec Pinwriter driver.  As
far as I know, it's the same as the EpsonQ driver with more resolution
modes.
