[comp.sys.mac] Need help with printers!

That does it!  It took me over an hour to perfect the month of April on my
calendar maker, thanks Lars, (if anybody wants the calendar maker, ask!) and
when I go to print it at 'BEST' quality it gets all these gaps and spaces bet-
ween mid-lines.  I know how it prints at 'best', but it shouldn't HAVE that
option if it prints so awkward.  Even on my reports, it does that.  SO,
what I"m asking is:

CAN SOMEBODY recommend a low-cost printer that will do these and ONLY these
things flawlessly:

1.  Print fonts WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE HORIZONTAL SPACES
2.  Output has to look decent; better-than-Imagewriter-II.. (which is what
    I have at the time..)
3.  I AM NOT LOOKING FOR SPEED! I could care less how fast or slow a printer
    is.. it's better than writing!
4.  Hopefully not too many 'add-on's that are almost manditory (ie paper tray,
    print head, - you'd be surprised what some manufacturers do to you!)

Is that too much to ask for?  Maybe a DeskJet or something like that?  I'm
pretty sick of X-Pin printers - I'd like to move on to laser or somesuch
similar device.


WHat do YOU recommend? (model and such).  I'll take all input and price.
Thanks for your time!
