I am posting this for a friend who is thinking of buying IBM PC
machines to perform administrative functions for a high school.
The matrix printers and daisy-wheel/thimble printers that he has
seen for the PC are much too slow for his purposes; I guess what
he is looking for is a line printer, probably in the 300-600 LPM
range. If anyone has information/pointers to manufacturers who
provide line printers in this speed range and which interface to a PC
(not XT for now), I would appreciate hearing about them. I think
that the intended use is for printing out student/classroom
schedules, so that letter-quality is not a requirement at all. I
think that speed is the main concern. Thanks for any help you can
provide. Please send replies via mail, and I will summarize to the
net if necessary.
