I prefer one with price tag less than $200. Also, is there a combination of software and a DOT MATRIX printer which can let me print files in postcript format? Or better yet, is there a dot matrix printer that can do this trick itself? I have access to a postcript printer. But it would be great if I can preview files at home before I upload them to the machine connecting to the postcript printer. What I have in mind is the Panasonic 1124 24-pin printer with a smart software. But are there better ways to do this? Thanks in advance. Dean
