Epson recommends using EPSONLQ2.PRD with the LQ-510 and the ActionPrinter 4000. Both printers use the LQ-850/1050 as an emulation. Use LQ2500.PRD as an emulation for the LQ-2550 printer.

The Epson LQ-500, LQ-510, LQ-850, LQ-950, LQ-1050, and LQ-2550 are not supported by Word version 4.00. Epson recommends using LQ2500.PRD as the printer driver for these printers. The printers use codes similar to the LQ-2500, and all the LQ series of printers have the same fonts.
