You could install a postscript driver such as the postscript pass-through
driver and let ghostscript do the rendering. My understanding from reading
the corel support newsgroups is that it doesnt support color printing. You
can also use a WP 6 print driver as follows:
1) Go to www.corel.com and snoop around until you find the appropriate
driver for wp version 6 for windows. This will be a self-extracting zip file
in a DOS exe. The one with the epson drivers is 60DM01.EXE
2) Download it and use unzip (from non-free) with the -L option to extract
the print driver file. The -L option lower-cases the file name. You should
end up with a file named wp60dm01.all (for the Epsons).
3) Rename it wp60dm01.us.all, mv it to the shlib10 directory, and fixup
permissions and ownerships as needed.
4) Start xwp, select File>Print>Select Printer>Printer Create/Edit>Add and
the Stylus 800 Should appear on the list.
