Antic has a good review of Print Shop from Broderbund. A friend has the
Commodore version and speaks highly. I just called Broderbund to check
that it supports my Okidata Microline 92 printer. Answer = no problem.

Here I must say full marks to this company. The woman in tech support
asked me what printer interface I had. Answer = ATR8000.  PROBLEM!

She said they had not tested with the ATR, but had heard Print Shop
would not run through it.

Does anyone know about this? Can anyone recommend another similar
package?

This is the second time I have hit compatibility trouble with the ATR.
It would not load a heavily protected disk (Ultima) which needs a real
Atari drive. Otherwise, I have to add, the ATR 8000 does excellent work.
