    Not sure if it's really considered gaming but, what computers is the Atari 1027 printer compatible with?

    If this is in the wrong place delete it.

    All the 8 bit Atari ones, good luck finding ribbons though.

    I thought the box said it didn't need ribbons. Besides part of it broke down. It's like never used, even with original paper

    Also, does that mean it won't work on a 1040 STe?

    It was designed foir the Atari XL series (600XL,800XL and 1200XL) hence the brown and cream with silver flashes look.

    It won't work on the Atari ST easily, for the time, money and effort you could probably pick up another daisywheel printer for the ST.

    Although it doesn't use ink ribbons it does use an ink cartridge, this is probably dried up so you would need to replace this... again good luck finding one.

    How big would the ink cartridge have been? Because when I found it it had this little 1" by 1" thing sealed in a little plastic thing.
