	HP DESKJET WITH ATARI 1040ST: ANY GOOD: AND HOW?
-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-

I am using a 1040 ST and have to buy a printer real soon.

I presently use the ST for wordprocessing and need laser (or laser-like)
output. I usually use 1st Word Plus (can start using Microsoft Write) but
need the printer to start working with the minimum (MINIMUM) of fuss and
expense.

How well will the HP Deskjet (or latest version) serve this purpose?

Will any special hardware or software be needed or do I just plug it and start?

Will I need HP Deskjet drivers for all my programs or what?



Also, in a month or so I am going for the Spectre GCR (when available). Will 
the Deskjet also work under Mac s/ware?

PLEASE ADVICE......I NEED HELP DECIDE UNRGENTLY......THANKS
