Summary: Don't need expansion slot, but do need 2 Megs

[]

To do any real work with a 300 dpi laser printer you need 2 megabytes.
That's because 300*300*8*10 = 7200000 bits = 900000 bytes for a bit map
of an 8*10 inch page at 300 dpi.  And then you need a lot of space for
fonts and such.  Notice that the Laserjet plus and the Laserwriter plus
both have 2 megs.  Thus, no desktop publishing with a 1040ST and the
RAM-less Atari Laser Printer.
