PC Magazine says that the new Epson LQ850 is their "Editors Choice" for a 
mid-priced printer (11/10/87, page 275). The new 850 model includes a tractor
feed, prints faster, and can also print individual sheets without completely
removing the tractor pin-feed paper! Retail is $799 but mail-order discounting
brings it down into the $450-500 range.
