If you have it doing 'dumb' printing, and your LA-50 is NOT one
of the 75% that have broken flow-control, you need a WPF LA-50
printer driver.

ISTM they did NOT provide one for 5.1, but did for 5.0. You CAN,
with PTR.EXE, I think, convert the old one. There are some
problems with that, but it's better than not having one at all.
