I asked the same question several months ago.  I was, and still am,
looking for a printer driver for a C-Itoh 1550 printer.  Windows comes
with a driver for the 8510, 80 columns, but I need one for 132 
columns.

I could not find a 132 column driver.  I talked with Microsoft and they
said I needed the "Device Driver Development Kit".  If you already own
the Software Developers Kit they will send you the device driver kit
at no charge.  All you have to do is sign some papers and it will be
on the way.  

I don't have a developers kit so I did not send off for the device driver
kit, so I have no experience with it.

Good luck!!
