I am in the market for a good printer for my Amiga 3000.  I have not yet made a
decision yet whether I want a dot-matrix (24-pin, I would think), or if I want
to spend the money on a laser printer.  I'd appreciate suggestions on both.

These would be used mostly for word processing, my current tool is Pro-Write.
I also anticipate writing some applications in C that have a good deal of
printer output, which leads to my next criteria.

I'd like something that gets along really well with the preferences shipped
with the OS.  I have 2.0, but I currently have a Toshiba hooked up that doesn't
do very basic things like Boldface at all, which is really annoying.  I'm not
into doing a lot of operating system patches to make printers work correctly,
so I am looking for models that people have had good success with, without
having to do a lot of special things.

What do you folks recommend?
