line for bit bucket

I tried an olympia model np?? printer on the st and tried to screen dump. It 
sent one valid line of the screen and then three lines of garbage ,one valid 
three garbage .... So I went into the printer designation menu and set the
printer resolution to the lower setting and then tried to screen dump again.
Much to my surprise got a very nice screen dump complete with the bee. Does
this mean that the Olympia is mx-80 compatable or that screen dumps work with
more than just epson's ? I suspect that any mx-80 workalike will do screen
dumps.

note I tried to print with a non-functional printer and ended up hung where the
only way out was to reboot. read: could be trouble!

This was written from memory and could contain inaccuracies.
