I'm posting my reply since others may be interested.  I'm using a Panasonic
1091 printer with my Atari 520ST and am quite happy with it.  Both text and
graphics modes seem to work.  [That is, the print-screen function does
generate an image of the screen on the printer].  A very minor change in the
STWriter configuration was required, something like ESC-H => ESC-T, to turn
of superscript or subscript mode.  Other than that, most things seem to work
fine.

Also, an IBM-PC printer cable can be used to attach a parallel printer to the
ST.  That's easier than trying to figure out what works from the pinouts.
