I recently handled the purchase of 30 ThinkJets for my Division's use
with HP 2392a CRTs.  The printer is really compact, prints clearly,
but the micro-holes in the inkjet cartridge have a tendency to dry up
now and then, producing poor print quality.  A wipe with a damp cloth
fixes this.  (We had two exceptions -- we had to replace the ink
cartridge for $8 each.)  You can turn on boldface with a control
sequence to greatly improve the quality of print.  Normal mode is also
very clear.

You'll need to stock special ThinkJet paper.  Also, buy one of those
acrylic printer stands from HP to stock a ream of paper under the
printer.

All of us are quite pleased with the printers.
