Since the Toshiba 351 got mentioned, I thought I'd add something about the AT&T 477. The AT&T 477 is a 24-pin printer that competes (in my opinion) with the 351. They have almost identical specs (CPS, emulations, ability to print color, ability to configure from a 'smart' console--no more dip switches folks). The nice thing about the AT&T is it comes with color printing capability built in. On the Toshiba 351 and the Epson LQ2500 it's an addition. If you aren't real keen on AT&T products, there's a Citoh that's close to what the AT&T 477 is, but I don't remember exactly what the model number was. I've seen the AT&T and the Epson LQ2500; I prefer the AT&T because it has the color capability built in. If you are looking cheaper, you might want to look at the IBM Proprinter X24. It's a proprinter with a 24 pin printhead. I don't like the Epson LQ800 because it lacks the features of the proprinter; the IBM should be about $120 more.
