I've been a rabid AND stubborn Wordstar user/fan for almost 20 years.  I presently have version 6.0 for DOS on my computer.  

I have 2 printers - a dot-matrix and a Ink Jet - on an A/B switch hooked to my parallel port.  Recently we upgraded the printers from an Epson Stylus 500 to an Epson C84 ---I know, it's about time :o)

The files continue to print out fine for the dot-matrix printer but not to the new inkjet.

I am presently using the Wordstar for black and white, enhanced text printing needs, and see nothing changing in that regard.

Any suggestions out there?  Thanks.

The C84 lacks resident fonts, therefore there is no printer driver for it.  The easiest way around this is to go to my Wen Space and get the instructions there for printing using a PS printer driver and Ghostscript.
