I don't think you can. The problem isn't the printer; it's the way WordStar
prints. This is about my only beef with WordStar - I think it prints better
than any other word processor, but it takes forever to do it. I usually start
WordStar printing and then go have a beer. (I use it on an Apple //e. Word-
Star, not the beer.)
