I am currently looking to help a client of mine find a printer
for a TRS-80 Model II computer.
Can anyone suggest a "modern" printer that will work with this
computer. He now has a daisy wheel
printer he purchase with the computer and is wondering if he
could connect an injet or similar printer
to this computer. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Art Navar

Art,

       The model II will allow you to connect any printer to is
providing you get the proper cable.  An inkjet will work but only
in straight text mode unless you can write a driver for it which
at this date and time is impractical.  What I would do is find a
good Tandy printer that will work with it and use it.  They would
be dot matrix but that isn't detrimental.

       If you are seriously interested I have a few of the Tandy
printers that will connect to the machine that I will get rid of
cheaply.

       If you think I can help please send me E-mail and I will
contact you.

                        Thank you...................BobR
