Hey Everyone!

I am looking for a small serial printer for my Stamp project.· Something that would take a roll of paper.· Dot matrix is fine.· Thermal might be ok.

Take care,
Frank

    Here is a link to Epson Point of Sale (POS) Printers:
    http://pos.epson.com/products/prodsP.htm

    Find an appropriate printer from those listed, and then search with the model number on eBay for availabily and/or surplus units.

    Regards,
