I have a Star NX-1000 Rainbow printer, and I have noticed this problem with
the suggested driver also.  Bold characters work fine in DRAFT mode, but they
are nonexistent in NLQ mode.  I had thought this was a problem with Prowrite
or a limitation of the printer, but looking at the manual's sample text, it
does show BOLD NLQ text.  So, I am also interested if anyone knows of a better
driver for the NX-1000 rainbow.  Perhaps someone at Commodore-Amiga knows
of one?  Any help appreciated...email is fine if you can swing it.
