I have an Epson printer Model LX-800 (or something like that, I'm
doing this from memory).  However, when I try to print my WP 5.0 files
onto this printer, it inevitably ends up messing up font changes,
forgetting spaces between words, etc.

The problem appears to stem from a) the fact that they don't have (as
far as I know) a printer driver for my particular model and b) the
fact that my model doesn't support the ESC \ that the other models use
for doing proportional spacing and other such stuff.

Any suggestions of modifications I can make using the PTR program or
where I can grab a driver for my model?  I don't check this group
much, so I'd appreciate it if you sent a private message.

Thanx in advance...
