I'm _very_ certain that the screen dump works only with Epson printers,
in Monochrome mode, and with the Okimate 20 Color Printer in Color Mode.
BUT for the Atari Laser Printer (SLM804) there's a screen dumper that
steals the Alt-Help and outputs the correct data over the DMA to print
to the laser printer...
