If ya'all were going to buy a printer for the pc, what would you get? I think I'm after dot matrix but I must admit I don't really know whats out there except those and laser printers. It should be nice and cheap, like under $500. Thanks in advance. Jim

I _love_ my NEC P2200 (a 24-pin matrix printer with a variety of built in fonts). List price for these is $495, street price as low as $350. It will do normal Epson-style graphics (but the print is lighter) in addition to high resolution 25-pin graphics. It has parallel and serial interfaces, will move tractor feed paper in either push or pull mode, and can feed single sheets without removing the tractor feed paper. I made my father buy one for his law office too. He has almost retired his Diable 630 as a result. David L.
