You don't need to own a printer to install it.  Just use PrintManager to
install the printer, and when you go to print, highlight that printer in your  
list of "installed" printers and hit the save button.

The only hassle is that you have to remember to reset to your real local  
printer when you want to print something else out.  If you forget to do this,  
be sure to use PrintManager to clear the print queue for the "virtual" printer.
