Quoting from the Atari Museum:
" Atari introduced with its Atari 400 and 800 series computers its first 80
Column printer. The Atari 825 which actually a repackaged Centronics 737
printer. Earlier models had limited capabilities, the later 825 models
with the extended basic character set had the capability of producing the
Atari ATASCII graphics character set. The Atari 825 required the use of
the Atari 850 interface module to allow it to communicate with the Atari
400 and 800 computer because it had a Centronic parallel interface on it
instead of the Atari SIO interface which the Atari 820 and Atari 822
printers had built in. "
Umm, go take a look at the URL he posted first.
