I have been using my Panisonic KX-P1080i printer with AppleWorks GS v1.1 
and have experienced the same problem.  I use the Epson printer drivers 
and a Grappler C/Mac/GS as well.  I can only get AWGS to print one page at
a time, and sometimes it refuses to print at all.  I don't think that its 
a bug in AWGS, as I am usually able to cancel the printing session and try 
again.  I have tried *many* times to use the Imagewriter emulation of the 
Grappler (the feature that I bought it for!) with the Imagewriter drivers 
and AWGS, but the printer either spits out garbage or refuses to do 
anything at all.  I'm on the verge of buying Harmonie and a HP DeskJet 
500!
 
Anyone have an answer?
