Forgive me if this is a question that doesn't need to be asked because the
answer is so obvious, but I've never used anything except a Gemini-10X
printer with my 1040ST and now I'm getting an HP Deskjet for it.  How can
I fix it so that the "Install Printer" option from the desktop will
allow me to do screen dumps to this printer?  In other words, will I only
be able to use this printer with programs like WordPerfect that have custom
HP Deskjet drivers or will a standard graphics screen dump "alt/Help" 
work?  I am getting the Epson emulation cartridge with the printer, so will
that mean that I can install the Deskjet as a standard Dot-matrix printer
using the "Install Printer" routine?   Any tips and/or hard learned advice
on this matter would be greatly appreciated!  
 Thanks in advance for any replies netlanders!
