  How about the Citizen Tribute series?  I have a 124, which has currently
unused (by me) options availiable for color and Epson LQ series compatibility
(it's 24 pin).  I know the 224 is Epson compatible right out of the box, and
I suspect it has color too.  I know that with the Epson and Color packages,
the 124 is  LQ 2500? 3500? compatible.  I thought that was kinda neat, because
i'd priced one of those monsters at $1500 or thereabouts while I was looking 
for a good 24 pin printer.  I got my 124 for $400 from those consummate ripoff
artists at Montgomery Grant, and actually, if you go in their store, they
don't squeeze you too badly, though I didn't buy their $50 parallel cable...
!!  :->
  
  The color option costs $100 from them, you can doubtless get it cheaper
elsewhere, and I've been having trouble finding the Epson card, but Citizen
is supposed to call me back today and tell me where in the NYC area has it.

  The 224 is probably cheaper, since it's all in one box and is a closed 
system (the 124 can be compatible with lotsa other stuff, like PostScript
-if- they ever finish the job) so if it has color, i'd buy that
