| 556105 | 2007-06-04 22:16:00 | Where is the best place to look for an old dot matrix printer? Trademe prices are far too high - $200 plus shipping for ancient technology. | hcl (10925) | ||
| 556106 | 2007-06-04 22:22:00 | Here's one: www.trademe.co.nz Don't know whether its what you're after or not. |

| 556107 | 2007-06-04 22:27:00 | Sounds good, but keep in mind it needs a parallel cable - cheap enough from DSE. | Greg (193) | ||
| 556108 | 2007-06-04 22:43:00 | How about ringing around the computer repair shops? Not Leemings & such. There is an outfit in Mt Wellington, Auckland, that takes in old computers & reconditions them. Cannot think of the name. What about businesses? Maybe something in their junk room.

| 556109 | 2007-06-04 23:31:00 | Where abouts in NZ are you? I have an old Epson LQ-870 dot-matrix in excellent condition, free to a good home. I also have a large number of new ribbons for it. It takes A4 through a single-sheet feeder, or holepunched paper via three other inputs. I think I have half a box of holepunched paper somewhere. Would be happy to throw in a parallel cable with it too. |

| 556111 | 2007-06-05 01:29:00 | I'll leave my Commodore MPS-803 DOT MATRIX on the carport...you can pick it up at any time. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 556112 | 2007-06-05 03:20:00 | I just off loaded a Epson dot matrix a week ago, was a very good printer in its day. I see someone has offered you a possible dot matrix printer, failing that, try calling some of the computer shops that sell used computer gear. In Chch there is a reconditioning outfit I think in Wordsworth Street that takes in strays and sells/ donates them onwards. ComputerFutures in Gasson Street is another possible store you could call and see if they have something and ship it to you. | PinoyKiw (9675) | ||
| 556113 | 2007-06-05 04:55:00 | Just wondering, but why do you need a dot matrix printer? | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 556114 | 2007-06-05 05:00:00 | Advantages: Cheap to run. A (cheap) ribbon lasts for thousands of pages. With lineflow paper, the pages don't get shuffled. Ideal for programmers. Can produce a carbon copy. |
