The ThinkJet emulates most of the functions of the MX-80 (with
graphtrax).  Graphics it does understand.  Italics it does not. 
Underline it does, bold it does, n/216 " spacing it does not.  I am able
to use an epson-targetted routine to do a graphics screen dump to my
thinkjet and the only problem is that the output is too narrow.  Not a
serious problem...  Furthermore, printing a 100 page document on the HP
will not cause permanent hearing loss   (    :-)   )
