I used WP/DeskJet just this last weekend to write a ten page term paper
and I was extremely pleased with the outcome.  Several of by fellow students
commented on how nice the print was.

I use the Epson cartridge because it's almost always installed in
my printer (for compatibility with nearly every other piece of Atari
software, Epson is the Atari standard).  WordPerfect thinks it's an
Epson and I've never had a problem.  I'd even go so far as to say it's 
easier then using the DJ without a cartridge (but maybe not a font
flexible).

Personally, I don't care for proportionally spaced print, so I unable
to comment on how well the DJ does.

Your welcome.

P.S.  WordPerfect seems to be a memory hog.  Ten pages is all it'll do in
a standard 520ST.  I also recommend a hard disc.  I couldn't stand using
WP before my hard disc arrived.
