highlight the text in whatever window you see it
change to xemacs
click with 3rd mouse button
BUT
I believe you are using RH 8 and I wouldn't bother doing that
from virtual console - as root (su - to root if necessary)
type - setup
or by redhat-config-printer (in gui mode)
Multipass-5500 is listed (and indeed uses bjc-600) - it's all there
already
