Hello,

	Our family has an Apple II+ with an Okidata microline 92 printer (about
five years old).  The printer head has gone bad, and the tech says that it will
cost $125 to fix it.  Would it be a better idea to buy a new printer, or get 
the Okidata rekpaired?  There's a panasonic dot matrix printer available for a
very reasonable price, that we're thinking about buying.  Should we?

	Someone has offered us the use of an Alphapro 101 from Alphaco.  We
don't know if it will work with the apple, nor what might be required.  Any
advice?

	Please respond via e-mail.  If there is interest in the replies, I
will post a summary to the net.
