I have a Kodak Diconix 150 Plus Printer, which may be the same one
you are asking about. It cost me a good deal more than $199 though,
so if they are the same, that is a real bargain. (I paid around $400.)
So far I have been very happy with mine. It is surprisingly small and
light, and the manual is surprisingly informative.

>Can it handle continuous forms?

	Yes.

>How is the print quality?

	Very good. It gives you a choice of Draft, Near Letter Quality,
and Quality, selectable by pressing a button. It isn't as good as what
I get from a laser printer, but it is quite readable.

>How often does the ink cartridge? have to be replaced?
>Are replacement/refills easily available?  Reasonably priced?

	I don't know. I haven't had to replace it yet.

>Does it have graphics capability?

	Yes. Horizontal resolution is 96 dpi.

>Any clue on reliability? Clogged ink jets?

	I haven't had any problems so far.
