In order to help garner proceeds for my Linux distribution, Source Mage,
a good friend of mine is going to auction off some Dot-Matrix printers.
He lives out in San Angelo, which isn't too terribly far, but it would
be a day's trip. This is, however a great way to get a dot-matrix
printer on the cheap :)
<snip>
I have several (close to ten, I think) Okidata Microline320 printers,
and as far as I know, they all work, including a used ribbon. They use
standard 8.5" x 11" continuous feed paper. As far as I know, they all
work and the only problems that would be present would be the yellowing
of the plastic (i.e. no broken parts or missing pieces). The only real
use for them that I could think of would be for printing off man pages
and scripts and junk.
What I would like to do first is auction them off to the highest
bidders. The proceeds will then be donated to SMGL. I'm a broke
college student, which means I don't have any money, so I'd also ask
buyers to pay for the shipping in addition to whatever they're donating
to SMGL. About the only expense I have to spare on this would be some
weekend time and some gas to drive to The UPS Store (or wherever I need
to go to ship a printer to a buyer).

You can contact Matthew Clark at matthewclark at inlesserterms.net .
Mention that you're interested in the printers and I'm sure he'll work
out the details.
Just thought you guys might be interested in this, since at one point I
was, and I still have my 32-pin wide carrage Dot Matrix printer ;)
