I bought a Epson AP80 to use with my 512 Mac several years ago.  I don't know if
it is still available, but its a good printer and doesn't seem slow to me,
although I have never compared its speed with an Imagewriter.  I paid $275
for it new from ComputerCraft in Austin.  The only drawback I have found
with the AP80 is that it takes a unique ribbon and they cost about twice
the normal Epson ribbon.
