I am in the process of designing a network in which 24 pin printers will be
used locally to produce draft copies of TeX documents.  This is a request for
information regarding 24 pin printers and drivers.  If you use a 24 pin
printer for TeX output, I would appreciate your assistance in providing me
with the following information about your setup.

If I receive enough information, I will summarize, as this is probably of
great interest to many people.  Thank you in advance for you help.

(1)  What printer do you use?  What does it list for and what did you pay?

(2)  What DVI driver do you use and at what resolution?  What font collection
     do you use and where did you obtain them?

(3)  How is the output quality?  Are individual dots easily distinguished,
     distinguished by looking closely, or nearly impossible to distinguish?

(4)  How fast is the printer?  This information could best be conveyed by
     providing the time required to print a DVI file of approximately 4k bytes.

I appreciate you taking the time to assist.  --Ron
