Subject: WordStar and Daisy M-50, help needed

Is there anyone who has installed a Daisy M-50 daisy wheel printer
in WordStar (version 3.0).

I know the Daisy M-45 has to be installed as either a Diablo 1610/1620
or as a Qume sprint 5 printer. A M-50 however doesn't work well than.

I first installed it as a Sprint 5 printer and found that every second
line got printed backwards. This was resolved by putting a .bp off in the
file (is there an instalation option to do this?). Than I found out that
as long as WordStar didn't fill the lines everything went fine. As soon
as WordStar started to fill lines (and micro justify them) printing went
wrong. It prints about one line (unreadable) and than the printer starts
to flash its RST light indicating wrong control code's.

Installing it as any other daisy wheel does not solve the problems.

Is there anyone who has a clue as to wat might be wrong ?

Please mail to the following addres:
