	I have a Panasonic KX-P1091 which I understand has now been renamed
the 1081i. I works fine. I have friends who have the Star SG-10. They work
terrifficly as well. Both can be had for well under $300. Near letter quality
on both printers is excellent.

>How do I tell if other brands are 'Epson compatbile' ???

	I would think the literature should tell you.

	About trusting computer sales people....... Hope you run into a good
one!

Hope this helps,

Martin
