I've recently purchased an Atari 520ST and I'm running into
a few problems.  I have a new Panasonic PX1080i printer, 
and while I can get the printer to print when I'm using 1st Word,
it won't recognize bold, underline, and italics.  I was 
told to install the printer from 1st Word as an Epson RX80.

Someone suggested that I probably have to write a new printer
driver (Argh!!!).  Does anyone have experience with this printer
used with the ST?  Has anyone out there written a printer driver
for it?  HELP!  (You may have guessed that I'm strictly an end-user,
not a programmer/computer scientist type).

I'm also looking for suggestions for the following kinds of software:

	Database 
	Mailing List
	Graphics
	Typing Tutor

Copies of public domain software for any of these would be great.
Otherwise, suggestions for good commercial products would be 
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
