One caveat:  The last time I checked, Amiga TeX/LaTex did not support
all the printers in Preferences (TeX uses its own fonts, drivers, etc.).

Does anyone know whether the latest version of Amiga TeX/LaTeX supports
multifont output on Okimate 20's?  For that matter, what dot-matrix
printers are currently supported by TeX/LaTeX?
