[net.micro.cbm] Printers for C64?

rhp@pyuxll.UUCP (07/12/83)

	I am considering purchasing a printer for my Commodore 64.
I want to be able to use the printer for word processing and program
listings primarily but would like to use in conjunction with my 
modem.  I would like to daisy chain it with my disk drive so all of
my I/O ports would be free.  I have seen printer interfaces advertized
for about 119.00 that will allow standard parallel interface printers
to be connected to the serial port with the disk drives. The Commodore
1525 printer connects this way and has most of the features I am looking
for but, it doesn't have a Top of Form function that can be performed at
the press of a button. I am sure that you can do it from software but 
that would get annoying  everytime you wanted to set you paper adjustment
or start another print.  I am looking for information ( quirks, good 
attributes, bad attributes and such) about any printers that some of
you might be using with the C64 or the Vic 20.  I am interested in a 
broad price range but anything over 800.00 is out of my league. 
Any information I can get will be helpful when I go to buy. Thanks
in advance.
