Once you've opened the box with the Alt+Down, just use the regular up/down
arrow keys to view the list box.
For example, if I hit Control+P on this message, it presents me with the
default printer name--if I whack Enter, it prints to that particular
printer, but if I wanted to print it to a text file instead, when JFW reads
me that default item, I hit Alt+Down to open the list box containing all the
printers I have set up on this system and any shared network printers.  I
arrow to the "Generic, Text only" item in that list and whack Enter to
select it, then Enter again to start the print process.  (In this case, I'd
also be prompted for a file name to print to.)

Hope this helps!
