I believe ST-TeX (which includes a previewer and the ability to output
240 dpi on an Epson FX-80 (at 8 minutes a page)) is available for
DM 235 from Tools GmbH, Kessenicher Str. 108, 5300 Bonn 1, West Germany.
For LaTeX add about DM 70.  Drivers for about 10 other printers including
two Laser printers may be substituted at DM 35 each, I believe.  The
current manual is in German but in a few weeks the English manual will
be available.

This TeXer is reasonably good, especially for the price, but it is not
as good as, say, Textures for the Mac or PC-TeX.  In particular the 
previewer lacks many useful features.  However, TeXing itself is fast - 
just a few seconds per page.
