Thinking about adding a dot matrix printer
« on: October 09, 2008, 04:41:47 AM »
Hi, all, I am thinking of adding a dot matrix printer to my A2000 set up. What are some suggestions? I was thinking for adding an Okidata Proline printer, but I am unsure if any drivers are available. I also noticed that Okidata had a "Commodore" model. but how hard is it to get the Amiga package? I am looking for a printer that is easy to find and the ribbons are still sold everywhere.
What do you guys think?

Thanks,
The reason I was asking about Okidata, is that they are very cheap, easy to get a hold of, still being made and the ribbons are a dime a dozen. They are work horses. I really don't want to get something that is impossible to get parts or ribbons for (been there with all my Tandy printers)
