Default configuring an old printer

I am having trouble getting an old 24 pin AEG Olympia NP
80-24 to operate with WIN XP. Lost manuals and forgotten
emulation modes do not help.

The problem is that the printer, even configured as a
basic generic text printer, fails to handle the print job.
Either the beginning of the file is printed after a lot of
print head action, or only the last paragraph is printed.
It is as if the printer cannot manage the speed of the
data flow from the print spooler.

I have played with spooler settings in Properties but
cannot slow the transfer of data to the printer. Is there
a trick?

I have 500 pages of basic text to print and I figured the
dot matrix would be fast and economical. I have searched
for drivers high and low. A basic Epson LQ driver is
supposed to be OK but no luck.
