Year-and-a-half ago I picked one up at a regional C-Land warehouse sale for $100.- plus tax -- and ten reams of the matching HPaper set me back another $20.- . (Perfect screen-dump printer for my HP-700/22 vt220-clone.) Glad I didn't wait for this "amazing!!!" cable-channel "bargain" :-} . -- Fred [E.J. Linton, Math.
