This is raw Post Script, which the Panasonic doesn't interpret.

Apsfilter probably set you up with:
lp--default, doesn't go through Apsfilter/gs
raw--(may be called something else) goes through Apsfilter,
but is not modified
pandot--(my name for the panasonic dot-matrix printer) goes
through Apsfilter and gs and is output as a graphic
(raster scan) for the Panasonic
Look at /etc/printcap.
In Mozilla, click file->print->properties then change the "Print
Command" line to "lpr -P<whatever-you-named-your-printer>"
For example, mine reads lpr -Ppandot
You can do about the same in Browsex. I haven't printed from any other
browsers.

Coincidence? I think not.
