Responding to Jeff Shore's request for printer recommendatons...
 
The Panasonic 1092i fills all the specifications of the request quite nicely.
 
It prints at 240 CPS in Draft, 48 CPS in NLQ (a very nice NLQ)
Has downloadable fonts (different from printing with Publishing Partner)
Full graphics capability (which means it'll work with Pub. Partner)
Costs less than $300
 
The only caveat is thatThe only caveat is that my experience with the Panasoni
cartridges has been less than thrilling.  None have lasted as long as I'm used
to seeing from an Epson MX-80 cartridge, and the price is higher.  Also, some
of the less expensive cartridges have had a tendency to tear and tangle. I'm
still looking for a good, low cost supply of ribbons.
 
On the other hand, others with Panasonic printers have had no problems...
