I strongly suggest you look at the Star NX-1000 II printer.  I have
the original NX-1000, and it's a GREAT printer.  Has many built-in
features, including paper parking.  The II can be bought for $159 mail
order.

Also, ribbons are FAR less expensive for the NX-1000 series, and can be
reinked.  Panasonics cannot.
