Subject: Good Letter Quality Printers

I just purchased the 24 printer to which you refer - the NEC P2200.  It does
as the add says, including using a "push tractor" which allows you to
park your tractor-fed paper and print cut sheets, then return to the 
tractor-fed paper fairly automatically.  All this for $339 mail order.
I find the NLQ output more than acceptable, and I think you'd be pretty
hard pressed (without a lot of squinting or a magnifying glass) to tell it
from typewritten output.  The proportional spacing is very nice too.

As for its longevity, I'm sure it won't be up to my old Okidata 92, since
the case and innerds are mostly plastic.  So far (1 month!) it hasn't had
any problems though.
