My Okimate 20 documentation claims that it will emulate an Atari SMM804,
which in turn emulates an Epson printer (I think).

However, the only time I actually tried this (booting without the Okimate
color printer driver and pressing Alt-Help to dump the screen in Epson format),
several dots in my print head burned out, and I had to get a new print head.

So my question is, was this just a coincidence?  Do other Okimate 20 users
use their printers on a daily basis in SMM804 graphics mode?  There are a
lot of S/W packages out there that support the Epson or Atari printers but
do not specifically support the Okimate 20.

Thanks in advance.
