I've got the Quadram printer that I bought from BCE wholesalers.  I was
fortunate enought not to have to take a deal with all of the crummy PC
software.  While the Quadram has different ROMs, there are a bunch of 
printer drivers floating around for them.  I can't comment on the text
quality, since I have another printer for that, but the color graphics
dumps looks as good as the Canon version.  An for $125, I couldn't have
gone wrong.  BTW, I believe that the text on the Quadram had descenders,
while I don't think the Canon version does.
