Still they have the flat scanner that I’m looking at. I rely on an old Panasonic dot printer. The program I use to produce my “Daily Worksheet” was written in Qbasic with a printer string pointing to the old Epson dot standard. Rewriting he program is not acceptable, but I’d like to use a newer printer – that old KX-P1124 has got to wear out sometime.
So one – are there any modern printers that will accept that old code? And two what’s a good durable multifunction machine that doesn’t have software that wants to rule my world?
Thanks in advance

I have a nearly new KPX1124 sitting in a box I'll let you have for next to nothing.............I think I still do anyway..I need to look tonight.

I have a Lexmark all-in-one. My techie friends tell me Lexmark machines are decent but short lived. I've had mine for 2 years with regular use and its great, the only exception being that the cartridges run a little high. I love it, it also does the whole scan documents to your PC/hard drive with the recognition software thing. Pretty cool and very handy. I got it for like $125 2 yrs ago. Things have improved I'm sure, so I'd imagine you'd have your pick.
