Probably the easiest thing to do, if the Star Gemini 15-X is like my Star NX10,
is to set your printer up as an "Epson" printer.  The Star NX10 by default
I believe is Epson compatible, you need to change a dip switch to enable
"Star" mode.  Probably best if left as Epson, since almost everything has
an Epson driver (including the screen dump) ...
