The easiest way to save yourself some trouble is to buy an R: interface for
your 8-bit Atari.  The P:R: Connection from ICD is one such interface.  If
your printer had a parallel interface instead of serial, you could hook it
up with a P:R: Connection and it would be your P: device - most programs
that "talk to" a printer "know" it as P:  With a serial connection, your
printer will be the R: device - a bit trickier to use that way.
