ANY "RS-232" printer that was switchable to "AUTO LF" would work just
fine.
And, with a serial/parallel converter (reaily available, and which quite a
few people here are capable of building), parallel "centronics" printers
worked.

I used a Coco with DTC-300 (HiType I daisy wheel, with 4004 processor),
Centronics 101 (weighed 4 zillion times what the computer did), silly
radio shack pen plotter/printer, Epson MX-100, and HP Laserjet! Which of
those is the crappiest?

And credited with being the reason for the flourishing mail-order
business.
