I think the one with 3 forms you're thinking of may be the IBM 4247.

        Subject:        RE: dot matrix printers for 5 part forms?


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.

Regards,

Jim Langston

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