I'm considering getting one of those printers to use with MS word 5.0.
I'd like to hear what experiences anyone has had with either one--
do they work as advertised?  Did you experience any unexpected
difficulties?  Do you like it?

I don't need the printer to be portable (but the Canon's small footprint
is nice.)

What about programming them--can you encode your own font sets and
download them to the printer, the way you can with a dot matrix 
printer?  (You can with Epson and Okidatas, anyway.)

Thanks.
