[ale] Need Tractor Feed Dot Matrix printer

[Jeff Hubbs]

Oddly, I never saw the parent to this message but my favorite dot-matrix
printer was the Okidata Pacemark 3410.  Options included a second
bottom-feet tractor assembly and a single or dual cut-sheet feeder.
Perfect for improving business processes that depend on carbon forms.
