HELP !!!!!! 
I am starting to shop around for a printer for my ST and I am 
confused.
I want a printer to print program listings, letters, documents etc.
I don't need 'letter quality' and would like to spend $300.00 or less
especially the 'Less' part.
It's my understanding that the ST handles 2 different kinds of printers -
'Atari' type and 'EPSON' compatibles. Is this correct ???
How do I tell if other brands are 'Epson compatbile' ???
Can I trust a computer salesperson ???
What's the difference between 'Atari' printers and 'Epson compatibles' ?
Does anyone out there have recommendations for a printer to fit these needs ?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
keith hedger
