If you buy the Epson emulation cartridge it should work, but I don't
think that it would work without the cartridge (DeskJet's native language
is PCL). I don't know if the ALT-HELP can have a special printer driver
associated with it.

It prints at 240 cps in draft mode (every other dot),
and 120 cps in letter quality mode.
The only problem that I have noticed is that the ink is water soluble,
so don't get your listings wet. In "normal" use (for me), the ink
cartridges seem to last about 6 months.
