[net.micro.cbm] printer that looks good

I noticed in my most recent copy of the Jafco catalog (some of you may
know then as LaBell's) that - there in the home electronics and
computer section - they carry what appears from the description to be a
pretty decen printer for the Commodore 64. It's priced at around $240,
claims to run at 120 cps, and to do normal, wide, compressed, sub- and
super-scripts and (I think) emphasized too. AND it is alleged to be
directly plug-inn-able to the C64.

So here's the (Commmodore) 64-dollar question: has anyone
seen/felt/tried/bought one of these goodies? Is it as good as the
catalog claims? Lord knows our local Jafco salespeople wouldn't know a
printer from a punch-bowl so they're of no use.

Let me know if you've heard anything about this beastie...
