For the panasonic i use the KX-P2123 driver that comes with Pclinuxos. For the Citizen i use Epson LQ-570plus with the printer set for epson emulation.
I mainly print from Libre office or Abiword and the print is ok, but not as good as printing from libre office on windows xp, as the xp driver supports 360*360!

I have also used Ubuntu and the correct drivers dont allow 360*360.

Its not really a big deal as  the print is acceptable, just be nice to use these printers at their best.
