I am a new owner of an Amiga 500.  I now want to get a printer.
I have read the manual and have found that there are several
printer drivers available.  I also own a Panasonic 1191 printer
(which emulates the Epson FX series).  I am assuming that
the Epson driver that comes with Workbench 1.3 will be sufficient to
drive such a printer.  However, I understand that the cable that
connects this printer to my IBM machine is not appropriate for
the Amiga.  

My question: What kind of cable do I need?  Can you suggest a reliable
mail-order house or a shop in New York City that might carry such a
cable?  Any general comments about printers and Amiga 500s are also
appreciated.

Cheers,
  Seth
