[net.micro] 1525 printer/plotter?

kushnier@NADC.ARPA (05/22/84)

Ted,
  Sounds like some kind of misprint....or somebody's confused....

The 1525 is Commodore's old printer, now discontinued....and definitely not
letter quality...
The 1526 was the next attempt, but suffered from manufacturing difficulties...

The MPS-801 printer is the current model from commodore which they say
only works with the 64...I still don't know why this is so...In any
event it is still dot matrix with no decenders and not letter quality.

Commodore is selling a plotter with narrow paper. It has been deeply 
discounted and is now selling below $100.. It is far from being a letter
quality printer....Printing and plotting are two very different animals...

Check in Compute Magazine June 84 for a good printer article...
