Earlier I was having a problem where when printing only parts of letters would print out. It turns out the printer is fine and what I had was a cups configuration problem which I solved using lpoptions. Cups by default prints to a4 type paper but that paper isn't used in the United States and printers are actually sold to meet the Letter or US Letter standard. Once I configured cups to send stuff to the printer in Letter format the letters suddenly got much more legible. I saved that command along with the command to enable a printer queue to a script file I'll be able to use to reconfigure as necessary too. I also changed the printer resolution from 60x60DPI to 60x72DPI and that improved the print quality some too. With the Panasonic KX-P1123 you can set the paper type and the resolution with cups. I can probably embed printer escape codes in files and get finer control too but haven't yet gotten around to that. Some of those resolution combinations are strange but none of them are identified by letter quality or near letter quality.
