I have been using the "Roland 2417" (a KXP-1124 with a different name) for aboutsix months and can't say enpough good things about it. This little printer is a
marvel of mechanical engineering. It is very ruggedly built and the paper
handeling is totally idiot proof. The print quality is almost LASER quality
(good enough to print my thesis on) in both graphics and text mode. Although
I've never used an Epson LQ-1050, the 1124 is LQ-2500 and IBM-Proprinter X24
compatible. I've had no compatibility problems (using WP5.0, MS Excel,Harvard
Graphics, AutoCAD). Although the list price is more than an LQ1050, I got mine 
for $325 (CDN) which was $100 less than the Epson. I highly recommend the 1124.
