 Several years ago I worked for a startup in Oregon (Control-C Software). While
 there I finished a driver that would allow you to print Wordstar documents
 on a variety of laserprinters (Qumes, Ricoh, Apple, HP, Canon). 

 The driver used the native instruction set of the printers (rather than one of
 the brain-damaged emulation modes) and was capable of producing very nice 
 documents (justification to 1/720 of an inch). 

 I believe they are still in business (producing a PostScript clone) and that
 you can reach them at: (503) 292-8842. Their number has changed in the last
 couple of years, but I believe the recording will still tell you the new
 number.

 Best of luck,
 Stefan
