Not the one I have in the server cupboard, hooked up to a Linux box.
(the pdp-11 doesn't have a Centronics port ;-)
Works with just about anything as an ASCII printer.
Someplace I have a Windows 3.1/3.11 driver for it too IIRC.
Takes Canon <mumbles model number> inkjet carts that still show up on
eBay occasionally.
And if it ever goes wrong, I now know a man who can fix them. :-D
For the /best/ beeb printer, I'd nominate the Epson FX-80. One of which
I sadly lack.
Cheers!
