I just recently upgraded my version of ProWrite 2.0 to ProWrite 2.5.
The new disks come with different printer drivers than I had before
and I'm not sure how to set them up because the upgrade had no new
printer documentation along with it, either on disk or paper.  I have
a Star Nx-1000 printer which is supposed to be Epson compatible.  The
new disks also came with a new printer.device.  The new printer.device
doesn't work with the old drivers and vice-versa.  What has changed?
In the old version, I just chose the EpsonX driver in my Preferences,
set the density to the higher version allowed and things worked.  Now
I see that there are two versions of Epson drivers in this new
release.  One called EpsonXOld and the other called EpsonX[CBM-1250].
What are the differences between these?  By trial and error I have setting
that work, although I don't know why.  I would appreciate if someone could
explain what happened between 2.0 and 2.5.
