It would probably be much cheaper to use a terminal with a printer port,
and tack on a printer running full time.  We have done just this with
most of the consoles on our computer room and it works out just fine.
Also, a seperate printer can be moved out of the way, or even across the
room where precious desk space is not at a premium.
