RE: dot matrix printers for 5 part forms?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Printronics printers are work horses, we had used Printronics P300 and P600's 
(300 lpm and 600 lpm) although those are obsolete now, Printronics does have 
equivalents just with new part numbers and faster.  Not cheap printers, but 
they last.  And when they do fail you get a new print head (when a pin fails), 
new shuttle, etc..  they are meant to be fixed, not thrown away.

Also, the Printronics could be connected either twinax or parallel depending on 
the option you ought.

There is another manufacturer out there, can't remember the name, but they make 
a multiple form printer, you can load it with 3 separate forms and it will load 
the correct one.  AS/400 print files can specify which form to load so they do 
work from AS/400's.  I just can't for the life of me remember the manufacturer.

This one is parallel, but you can connect twinax with emulator.

any recommendations?  parallel attach to a twinax printer with IBM
Pro-printer emulation.
