Default Panasonic Printing Problem


My KX-P1123 does not print in response to the "Print" command from Vista
Home Basic. It worked well when connected to Win98. I don't think the
printer is at fault because it does print in response to inputs from its
Control Table.
I am using the correct printer cable . . . "USB to Centronix 36
parallel printer. Vista's Control Panel/Printers shows the KX-P1123 is
installed. The Panasonic website tells me that the printer's driver (*1
INBOX) is installed and no other drivers are needed.
Following the instructions that came with the cable, I made the
KX-P1123 the default printer, right-clicked it and selected
"Properties". Then clicked "Ports" and selected "USB001:Virtual Printer
Port for USB". Clicking "Print Test Page" changes printer status from
"Ready" to "Error".
If I connect my Epson inkjet to the PC, it works well, so the PC
does not seem to be the problem.
I evidently did something wrong, or left something undone. I hope
someone can tell me what is wrong. I thank one and all for any and all
help . . . I do need it.
