  • DWP-210

    From Thomas@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 17 05:29:48 2017
    Is anyone interested in a DWP-210 daisywheel printer? I have the manual and it works. I will send it to you for just the price of shipping, whatever that would be. I'm guessing it would not be cheap given how heavy this thing is.

    Thanks.

    I'm not interested, but does it still work?

    I bought a Smith-Corona daisy-wheel printer in 1984 to go with my Color Computer. The reviews basically said "it's a typewriter with no keyboard
    but a serial or parallel interface".

    I needed it badly at the time, since my Radio Shack DMP-100 dot matrix
    printer was awful, too slow, too noisy, didn't do descenders, and was
    nowhere close to "near letter quality".

    But within 5 years, and I didn't use it that much, one of the plastic
    gears had broken. So I abandoned the printer, getting a new dot matrix printer for less, but which was good enough for "near letter quality".
