Hello People.... (you are people aren't you? Nevermind!!!) My question is... What is a GOOD daisy wheel printer to use with the Amiga? Will most daisy wheel printers work with the Amiga? I have an Amiga 1000, and really need letter quality output. I already have a fairly good dot-matrix printer, so another one of those is out of the question! I would get a laser printer, but they still cost a little much for my budget. So, I'd like suggestions for a good daisy wheel printer that interfaces well with the Amiga, it'll mostly be used with WordPerfect. I also don't want to spend more than $500. So, lets have some suggestions!!! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Address: ucbvax!sun!cup.portal.com!jj / "God loves YOU, just the | | _ _ Representing | way you are, he really, | | | | | | __ | really does!

Though I have 5 printers on my Amiga, the daisy wheel one is the SR2000 from Sears. Yes, Sears. Has both the parallel Centronics connector and Diablo-630 emulation, and a serial connector for use on the C64. It's also a portable typewriter with features simply beyond belief. Uses the carbon film ribbon and also the "standard" IBM-type lift-off correction ribbons. Large variety of fonts and sizes. As a typewriter, it's great. And as a printer it's great. Prints about 15 chars per second; for perfect letter-quality full-formed-chars, that's acceptable for me. I would NOT use this for program listings, natch! :-) The complete model name is "SR2000, The Electronic Graduate". I paid less than $300 at Sears. The unit is actually manufactured by Smith-Corona.
