     I'm currently looking in the market for a low-end 24-pin printer.
I'm not looking for anything particularly fancy - just good letter
quality print, a couple of convenience features, not too noisy and an
average print speed.  I figure I can spend around $300.  My current
considerations are:

     1.  ALPS Allegro 24
     2.  Epson LQ-500
     3.  Panasonic KX-P1124
     4.  Star Micronics NX-2400

      I'm currently leaning towards the Panasonic because of its paper
handling features and its relatively good print and speed.  I would
appreciate it if anyone could give me advice on this (especially owners
of those printers) or any other models I should consider or avoid.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick Button
