Not sure if I posted this before, but you can still run Wordstar under 
V-DOS.

Install VDOS <https://www.vdos.info/files/20160601/vDosSetup.exe>

Install Wordstar 
<https://winworldpc.com/download/46C67977-18DA-11E4-99E5-7054D21A8599>

Not sure how you'd print unless you had a legacy parallel port card in
