I have a friend with a basic Amiga 1000 system who is considering the
purchase of a laser printer and whatever hardware and software are
necessary to obtain a good text production environment.  I've just
ordered AmigaTeX, so naturally I showed him the AmigaTeX demo.
He's suitably impressed with AmigaTeX, but is somewhat less than
ecstatic about the memory expansion he'd need to run it.

So, the questions are:

What laser printers are any of you using, and how do you like them?

What software are you using, and what hardware is required beyond the
basics?

Is there a Preference driver available for your printer (and how well
does it work)?  Some of the younger members of his family are likely to
want to continue using Notepad rather than learn something more complicated.

Thanks for any information or pointers!
