I am interested in purchasing a 24-pin dot matrix printer in the $300-$400
price range.  I know of two such printers that are available: EPSON LQ-500
and Panasonic KX-1124.

If you have used either of these printers could you please email or post
your opinions about them?  Also if you know of any other 24-pin printers in
that price range, I would appreciate your sending me specs on them.  I am
primarily interested in speed, type of tractor arrangement (push/pull),
input port (serial/parallel), buffer size, emulation capabilities, type
quality, ability to use both tractor and friction feeds, reliability, 
service problems if any, price, and any problems you have had using the
printers.

I'll summarize the responses and post if anyone else is interested.

                                                 Thanks,

                                                 Matthew Pressly
