One thing, and this is VERY important, is that the printer have a 
parallel port connection. (DB-25, I think). Also, if it doesn't, you 
could always go out and get a device called 'Access-64' which allows you 
to use C-64 peripherals. I'd say that it's only hgood for the printer 
part, as C-64 modems/disk drives suck big time.
