One more thing that I forgot to mention in the previous post...
 
There is a way to connect a printer with an RS-232 type connection
through the use of an RS-232 interface for the C64 (which is cheaper than      
doing it with the use of printer-interface and RS-232-to-Centronix adapter).
However the RS-232 interface uses the user port of the computer instead
of the DIN serial port which is the usual port for connecting printers.
This may create a software conflict which expects the DIN serial port
to be connected with the printer, and thus sends the data through that
port.
 
Therefore the use of RS-232 interface with a printer may require some
software modification for it to work.
 
 
Sincerely,
Scott K. Stephen
