As a new PC user, I need some advice on the bewildering array of printers on
the market. My machine will be used primarily for data acquisition and my
need for a printer is for hardcopy backup (in case of disk problems) and
occasional program listings. I've got access to a mainframe and laser printer
for fancy work so all I need is something that can print legible ASCII.
As money is tight, I'm looking for the cheapest reliable unit I can find.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Mail and I will summarize if appropriate.
                                              Thanks
