The print was sharp and clear with hp paper. But it was SMALL. This is not a major complaint, but one you should be aware of{then again the machine is tiny too!}. If you want RS-232 interface, I suggest you buy Centronics as you said, and then buy an Angel buffer or equivalent to do the Centronics parallel to RS-232 serial conversion. You get the added benefit of a print buffer. If anybody out there knows of a VERY CHEAP buffer you can pass that on, but I mention the Angel because I know it will work well. Good Luck, mlsmith@nadc.ARPA
