I have decided to actually invest in my own printer. The loaner I
have from work is OK for draft quality stuff, but getting mulitiple
character sets and near letter quality (NLQ) is not possible. My
requirements for a printer to work with my 1040ST are fairly modest:
* Near letter quality
(This one *is* a must)
* Multiple character sets
(Must accept Publishing Partner fonts, etc.)
* Graphics capability
(I don't have a sophisticated need, but some is needed)
* Reasonable character speed in draft and NLQ modes
* Reasonable price
(under $300 is good, approaching < $200 is better)
At one point in the past, I had decided on a Panasonic 1091i(?)
as having the best bang for the buck, low user hassles, etc.
But as I don't really stay current, I don't know what the
recommendations/views are now, so I would appreciate anyone's
views (from experience). If some kind of survey or summary has
been done in the recent past, a copy of that would be great.
E-mail is best so as to not clutter the net, unless, of course,
there is enough general interest to make posting worthwhile.
Thanx.
