I would highly recommend buying a non-Commodore parallel printer and an
interface.  The printers with the most features are probably the non-
Commodore ones (ie. Epson, Gemini/Star, Roland, ... ).  Also, buying
a non-Commodore printer ensure that if and when you decide to upgrade to
a different computer, you won't have to throw away your printer because
nothing talks to it.  Also, in buying a parallel printer with a good
graphics interface, you get the best of both worlds.  You can do anything
a Commodore printer can do and more; especially with good word processing
packages.
