BUG in Wordperfect printer driver

Hai everybody,

I have wordperfect 5.1 (dutch and uk version) and the dot matrix printer
Brother M1109.

But i have a difficulty in printing graphics. The printer head first shifts
back to the start, then some control lamps are on and off. The printer
prints some rubbish like '@@@' etc. (i think initialization bytes). but
no graphics.

Then i looked at the driver with PTR.EXE and i found the first bug:

   when the graphics print starts, it sends:
      ....[27]"t"... 
   but i think this should be
      ....[27]"T"...  (capital T),

since the printer does not know any command with a lower case t, only with
capitals.......

Can somebody help me with this irritating problem.

Thanks in advance
