I have decided to actually invest in my own printer.  The loaner I 
have from work is OK for draft quality stuff, but getting mulitiple 
character sets and near letter quality (NLQ) is not possible. My 
requirements for a printer to work with my 1040ST are fairly modest:

	* Near letter quality 
	  (This one *is* a must)

	* Multiple character sets
	  (Must accept Publishing Partner fonts, etc.)

	* Graphics capability 
	  (I don't have a sophisticated need, but some is needed)

	* Reasonable character speed in draft and NLQ modes

	* Reasonable price
	  (under $300 is good, approaching < $200 is better)

At one point in the past, I had decided on a Panasonic 1091i(?)
as having the best bang for the buck, low user hassles, etc.
But as I don't really stay current, I don't know what the
recommendations/views are now, so I would appreciate anyone's
views (from experience). If some kind of survey or summary has
been done in the recent past, a copy of that would be great.

E-mail is best so as to not clutter the net, unless, of course, 
there is enough general interest to make posting worthwhile.

Thanx.
