I checked out corel's support newsgroup for wp8.0 for linux and told me to go
to the main corel site and download an old set of printer drivers for like
wp61 for dos.  I downloaded the .exe file and used tkzip to decompress it.
what I was left with was a wp font file.  I had to turn the file into
lowercase and append ".us.all" to the end of the filename and move it to "<wp
install dir>/shlib10/"   Then I just chose my printer from the list of
available printers in the menu... like a charm.  :)  I think I got all the
details... but check out corel's news server for more info.
