I am posting this query for an associate who is looking for a printer
with the following characteristics:

	must be downwardly compatible with one of the printers
		whose escape sequences are known by old versions of
		LOTUS (e.g., ibm proprinter or epson fx series)

	must be capable of at least 132 column printing (not 
		necessarily on wide paper, however)

	should have an integral buffer of at least 8K and be able
		to accept input (serial or parallel, preferably
		the latter) at an equivalent speed of at least
		2400 baud

	must have graphics capability with resolution at least
		as good as a Hercules graphics card screen; it would
		be useful if existing ibm software would know how to dump
		graphics on to it

	should have true descenders in at least one of the internal
		fonts

	should accept both single sheet and tractor paper

	< $600

I am particularly interested in hearing about good and bad
experiences with repairs, engineering, and ordering.
