I wouldn't give up before trying all the old drivers. Maybe one of them
works. And if it doesn't, why not just export XY files and print from
something else? Tim Olson posted and excellent XY-Word conversion macro

I certainly will never give up XYwrite, unless something better comes
along. No idea what that could be though.
