In my experience, Epsons cost too much, break too much, and jam too much.
I used to sell both Epson and Oki printers; I'd much rather sell the
Okis because they generate fewer service calls.  I own an old SG-10 from
Star (almost as old as my ST, bought in 8/85).  I like it so much I
specified a bunch of Star NX-10s and NX-15s when buying for my office
at work (which is equipped with 5 Mega 2s).  I also have an Oki laser
printer (HP LJ clone).  Shop around and look for features and price.
Good brands (among others) include Star, Okidata, Citizen, Panasonic,
and Toshiba.  A good place to look for price is Midwest Micro
Periperhals - they usually have 25 pages of ads in each Computer Shopper.
