Most low-end Panasonic printers work best if you choose HP2. They claim to
support higher PCL commands but I've never seen it work right. I don't
know what that particular printer supports, but I suggest starting with
HP2 unless it says it supports PCL 5 or higher.
Another thing to remember: low-end Panasonic printers will be
excrutiatingly slow in any HP mode. They are optimized for GDI printing. I
swear that they must have a 1mhz 6502 in there doing their PCL rendering
:-(.
