My sister-in-law has one, and it works fine.  The biggest disadvantage
didn't get mentioned, though:

It makes an Imagewriter I look like a Ferrari.  It reminds me of the Epson
MX-70 that I had for my Apple ][+ ages ago; very, very, very slow.

On the plus side, it doesn't jam the paper (the tractor feed doesn't PUSH, it PULLS).

If I were buying a printer, and couldn't afford a DeskWriter, I'd think real
hard about the Seikosha, and a decent print spooler.
