I have a Epson Rx-80 and a Panasonic KX-P3151 for nice output. The
Epson works fine. If I plug in the Panasonic instead, the system
prints for about 2 minutes then crashes. This is with a Herc graphics
card (mono). I have not tried swapping cards yet... In any case, this
would lead me to the same conclusion as above - there is some difference
between compatible and compatible.
