I'm considering a daisy wheel or similar (a.k.a. NEC spinwriter) printer
to print high quality text only documents from my SE.  Does anybody have
experience with such a printer?  Specifically I want a driver and printer
combination that handles

Proportionally spaced text.
Reasonable number of typeface wheels.
	I don't want to go font wild, but do want more than courier
	Times and Helvetica or similar, with appropriate screen fonts
	would make me very happy.
Leaving holes for figures to be pasted in.

The reason I'm asking is that with a good ribbon, daisy wheel printers look
very nice, better than 300 DPI laser printers, for a pile less money.

I have of course heard of the NEC spinwriter or XEROX diablo but have
no idea of their prices and how well they're supported on the Mac.

Please respond by mail, I try to read comp.sys.mac, but end up using
the 'c' key to trash things if I get behind (happens easily).  I'll summarize
to the net.

thanks,
