Keywords: TeX, 24 Pin printers

Hello, I now have TeX at home (and at work).  The home system is a
unix-pc without a printer.  In browsing through the dvi source files
I have come across a list of printers: Postscript, Canon, Impress,
HPJetPlus, HPLaserJet, DECLN03, DECLA75, AppleImageWriter, MPISPrinter,
Okidata 2410, Printronix, and Toshiba P-1351.  My hope is to find a
reliable 24 pin printer that can do TeX work.  I am not sure, but I
think the last printer (the P-1351) is a 24 pin 180x180 dpi printer.
A warning is posted in the source code, however, stating that this
printer doesn't align cell blocks very well and the output is marginal
at best.

If *anyone* has experience or advice on acquiring a home (cheap) TeX
output device--preferably a parrallel device--please let me know.

Since I don't normally read this newsgroup I would appreciate it if you
would mail directly to me, I'll summarize if enough interest is shown.

Thanks:
