Contact WordPerfect, the printer 7 disk contains an LX800 driver
and it works well.

I have heard many gripes from people that "wordperfect 4.2 worked with
my razamafrots printer and 5.0 doesn't". They are irate and think

REALLY know what printer it is driving. Get the right driver and things
cook!!!
