Netlanders,

After spending many hours reading the November 10th issue of PC Magazine,
I've decided to buy a Seikosha SL-80AI printer.  It gives the most bang
for the buck.  However, since it's a 24 pin printer I have a new dilemma.

Does there exist publishing software (STwriter, 1STword, or whatever) that
handles Epson LQ or IBM 5152 Graphics Printer modes?  I'm new at this and I
may not know what I'm talking about.  I'm about to buy a Seikosha SL-80AI
printer that emulates Epson FX, Epson LQ, or IBM 5152 Graphics Printer modes.
Since this is a 24 pin printer, I'd like to use Epson LQ or the IBM Graphics
modes with my 1040ST.  If bad came to worse, I think I could hack something
up but I'd prefer to use a professional program if it had spelling checkers
and a thesaurus.

I don't want to spend 300 dollars on a printer only to find I'll be doing
3 months of software development just to print "hello world".  Any help
would be appreciated.  Thanks.
