I am in the market for a good printer for my Amiga 3000. I have not yet made a decision yet whether I want a dot-matrix (24-pin, I would think), or if I want to spend the money on a laser printer. I'd appreciate suggestions on both. These would be used mostly for word processing, my current tool is Pro-Write. I also anticipate writing some applications in C that have a good deal of printer output, which leads to my next criteria. I'd like something that gets along really well with the preferences shipped with the OS. I have 2.0, but I currently have a Toshiba hooked up that doesn't do very basic things like Boldface at all, which is really annoying. I'm not into doing a lot of operating system patches to make printers work correctly, so I am looking for models that people have had good success with, without having to do a lot of special things. What do you folks recommend? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Dave Donat | "You don't buy beer, you only rent it..." | | Interactive Fiction Buff | | | drd@wucs1.wustl.edu | | | | - Drinking Buddy, SNL | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look at the HP DeskJet500. It has a street price around $475 and is as
good a quality as a Laser but does run a little slower.
