According to a distributor that I have contact with, there have been problems
with the NEC 2200:  electronically, no problems;  physically, the plastic
knobbies and the like have a tendency to break over time.

Disclaimer:  I got this info second hand, so take it with a grain of salt.
I have had no experience with the NEC 2200 except that I have evaluated the
printer's capabilities and found it to be exceptional for the price.
