Since the Toshiba 351 got mentioned, I thought I'd add something about
the AT&T 477.  The AT&T 477 is a 24-pin printer that competes (in my 
opinion) with the 351.  They have almost identical specs (CPS, emulations,
ability to print color, ability to configure from a 'smart' console--no
more dip switches folks).  The nice thing about the AT&T is it comes
with color printing capability built in.  On the Toshiba 351 and the 
Epson LQ2500 it's an addition.  If you aren't real keen on AT&T 
products, there's a Citoh that's close to what the AT&T 477 is, but
I don't remember exactly what the model number was.

I've seen the AT&T and the Epson LQ2500; I prefer the AT&T because it has
the color capability built in.

If you are looking cheaper, you might want to look at the IBM Proprinter
X24.  It's a proprinter with a 24 pin printhead.  I don't like the
Epson LQ800 because it lacks the features of the proprinter; the IBM
should be about $120 more.
