Hi.  Here is another fire-sale idiot ready to make another purchase.
Does anyone have advice on 3B1 printers?  In particular I have been
told there is a sturdy Panasonic 24 pin printer that goes for around
$600.00.  If such a printer can do TeX and is known to troff or nroff
and lpr won't croak, etc. etc. then I think it might fit my needs.

$600.00 is really more than I want to pay, but I've heard such wonderful
things...  A laser printer seems out of the question since the on-going
maintenance costs (and initial price) are beyond a "fire-sale" user's
pocket book.

Obviously I don't know half of what I need to know to make a decision.
Please respond directly to me and I'll try to summarize the information
for others (I can't believe I'm the only fire-sale idiot that couldn't
come up with initial money for a printer).

Thanks.
