	I am using an Epson Microline 192.  It lists for $499, and
it works well.  I had to adjust the lp model to handle the screen
dumps correctly.  One can download fonts to this printer.  I was able
to get most of the nroff/troff special symbols stored into it.
The main complaint I have with the printer is that when in "corres-
pondence quality" mode it can't do bold or italics.  Also I have
had some problems with bands of darker dots appearing when printing
graphs and such.
