I've got an AE Parallel Pro w/256k Buffer Pro.  Thing is, with Harmonie (driver
for Panasonic KX-P1124) I can't use the BUffer Pro, yet :)
The thing about that buffer pro is that it didn't seem to work (when I was
using the Epson driver from Apple) with GS/OS Desktop aplications.

Using the correct printer driver gives me extremely good printouts, compared to
the Epson driver Apple supplied with System 6.0.  I can't say much for Independence...never heard of it.
