To emulate an Epson printer with DeskJet, you need the Epson FX-80 Printer
Emulation Cartridge (#22707E). I believe the cost is $70. It emulates the
full feature set of the FX-80, and includes the necessary fonts -- 10 pitch,
12 pitch, and proportional.

There is no need to "emulate" Epson letter quality. All text on DeskJet is
laser printer quality -- far better than a real Epson printer. We decided
it was better to use DeskJet's 300x300 dpi capability, rather than emulate
a 72x120 font :-).
