I dont't have an Amiga but I just bought an LQ-800
for my C-128 and I am highly impressed with the print
quality.  It is LETTER QUALITY - not near letter quality -
and that's at 60 char/sec.  It obeys all Epson FX-80
commands when you use it with a wordprocessor.  However,
it will not work 100% correctly with graphics programs
like Print Shop until the software manufacturer writes
a printer driver for the LQ series.  The printer output
vertical line spacing is off by about 9/8.
I am very happy with my purchase and I talked to Broderbund
and they expect to support the printer on the next update
of Print Shop.  I believe the LQ series will be very popular and
will be supported by a lot of software programs in the future.
