The leader in the 24-pin market is Toshiba.  Their low-end printer,
the 80-column 321SL lists for $749, but can be had for under $500 through
many mail-order firms.  They have the most software support
on pclones as well.  The 321SL handles single-sheet AND tractor
AT THE SAME TIME, can download fonts, takes font cards, is both
parallel and serial, and has NICE output.

One mail-order firm that gives a good price: Harmony Video of
New York.  They  advertise regularly in "BYTE".
