These Lexmark forms printers are getting to be hard to find and expensive. Back in the early '90s these were known as IBM Proprinters and sold for a couple hundred bucks in a 24 pin.

Anyone who is using multi-part paper to print forms still needs a good forms printer and these units are tanks! I've owned about 8 of them over the years and worn out the print heads (irreplaceable for the most part since parts are scarce and cost nearly as much as the whole unit).

Lexmark is still making these new units but since demand has segued to ink and laser the price has increased dramatically. Still the same old workhorse with push and pull tractor feed that will handle up to 7 (yes seven) part forms.

We've had two pin printers so far, an Epson and Okidata. The Okidata was horrible and the model we had sales people were recommending. This Lexmark blows both of them out of the water. Easy to set up and easy to use, we absolutely love it for printing our three part forms. If you're using tractor feed, just load and it does everything else, no buttons to press. It lines up perfectly and then you simply tear off! Wonderful!
