During my (short) academic career, I actually had *more* success with papers
printed by dot-matrix devices that I did with typed or daisy-wheel-printed
material.  Seems to me that what you write is more important than how it's
printed, providing it's clear and meets the editorial requirements (margins,
reference style, etc).
