John, There are all kinds of nice letter quality printers outthere
what will work fine with the C64/128. One I use is the C.itoh
F10-40 serial printer, it can be hooked up directly to the 
serial output on the back of your computer (C64). If you have
Commodore 64 programer's reference guide handy look on page
396 at the serial I/O pinout. Pins 1 thru 5 are all the pins
required to have a F10-40 up and running like clock work.
	If you would like I can help you with a diagram showing
how to wire a cable to work with the above mentioned printer.
	Please let me know if I can be of any further help.
