	The Toshibas are especially nice.  If you want wide-body, try the 
P351.  Narrow body, try the P321.  The P341, according to Toshiba, was
being discontinued some time ago.  Only mail-order places carry it.  I 
wouldn't bother with it.  Both the 351 and 321 offer cartridge-based 
fonts, usually 2 or more fonts per cartridge, plus enough RAM in the
printer for downloading an additional two fonts.  I prefer the download
capability, which the 341 supposedly didn't have.  Prices are around
$1200 for the 351, $700 for the $321, perhaps better through discount
houses.  I have been using a P351 off and on for the last year, and I
like it a lot.  Have never had any problems with it.  Most software will
have drivers for it, if you need graphics, etc.  Also, the 321 is function-
ally the same, takes all the same codes, etc.
	For more information, you might want to look at the latest
PC magazine, which has an article on 24-pin printers.
