Good day! I own a Panasonic KXP-1150 9-pin dot matrix printer. It is connected to our laptop with Windows XP home edition via USB port. When i try to print text that has "Quotation Marks", it does not print the "Quotation Marks". Instead it prints a box-like graphic. I use printer fonts specifically, Draft fonts - the ones that look like dot matrix fonts. Could somebody kindly help me? Thank you.

Wow, and I thought noone used dot matrix printers anymore.. I sounds like the printer drivers that you are using for that printer are not quite compatible with that printer. Are you sure that they make printer drivers for a 9 pin Dot Matrix printer in XP and specifically for that printer. All I am finding online for that printer is drivers for Windows 3.1.

The only drivers for that printer in XP are the native Windows drivers.

Did you see how much that 9 Pin is selling for though? I saw $180. Have they become valuable because of their rarity?

If you can show me any other printer that can handle multipart carbon or carbonless forms.............

Dot matrix printers are not cheap to manufacture.

To all the people who replied regarding my concern, I would like to thank you all. The driver I'm using is from Windows Xp Home Edition. It's printing alright except for the quotation marks.

Have you tried using a different font?
