For what it's worth, I recently bought a Panasonic 1124. 360 dpi
and 24 pin , 11" wide carriage. I forget the speed now. I'd heard
good recommendations from several friends. More important, the
market seems to have decided in favor of Panasonic. I was at a 
'Ken Gordon PC Show' last weekend, and the two most carried brands 
of printers were the 1124 and 1624 (similar but 16" carriage).
