When I was investigating printers (I bought a LaserJet IIP :-)  I remember
reading (in STart I think) that, while 24 pin printers are much better at
printing their internal fonts, 9 pin printers are better for graphics, which
is really what you are doing when you use GDOS fonts.  Can someone confirm
or deny this?

While a laser printer may be out of your budget, an HP Deskjet can be had for
not much more than your nicer 24 pin printers.  Of course if you also want
to do program listings, the DJ is probably a little slow.  Of course, my 
opinion is biased since I work for HP.  But, they're really nice printers...
honestly. :-)
