I am posting this for a friend who is thinking of buying IBM PC
machines to perform administrative functions for a high school.

The matrix printers and daisy-wheel/thimble printers that he has seen
for the PC are much too slow for his purposes; I guess what he is
looking for is a line printer, probably in the 300-600 LPM range.  If
anyone has information/pointers to manufacturers who provide line
printers in this speed range and which interface to a PC (not XT for
now), I would appreciate hearing about them.  I think that the
intended use is for printing out student/classroom schedules, so that
letter-quality is not a requirement at all.  I think that speed is the
main concern.  Thanks for any help you can provide.  Please send
replies via mail, and I will summarize to the net if necessary.
