On the ALPS P2000G, Micro-TeX output prints quite a bit quicker than the
4 pages per hour stated in a previous posting at the highest quality mode
and even the draft modes.  The sample.tex file included in the distribution
printed in about 5 minutes in highest quality and < 1 min in draft mode.

Dot matrix printers are getting quite fast and still cost a lot less than
a laser printer.

BTW, output on the ALPS was really nice looking (and this is their 9-pin
printer, I wonder what the 24 pin printer will do with LQ-1500 TeX driver
from PC-TeX).
