    I am looking for an Okidata 320 or similar 9 pin dot matrix printer in working order.Does anybody have one squirrled away they want to get rid of or know of a place that sells old computer stuff cheap in the Twin Cities? I purchased a business recently and our shop work order system uses a DOS based program that prints 3 layer order forms. We are just coming into the busiest time of the season so I don’t want to upgrade the system until late in the fall or winter. Just need a backup in case the one we use now craps out. I bid on one on ebay and got outbid in the last 20 seconds of the sale.

    bunch on CraigsList, I would suggest the 320Turbo (should be between $50-80). Pretty popular printer since a lot of small shops still use them.

    I believe I have one also. I’ll check tonight when I get home. Send me a pm as a reminder if you don’t hear from me this weekend.

    I had a couple Okidata printers (don’t remember the number) that I just threw out last summer. Sorry.

    For reasons that even I do not understand… I have a barely used Oki 321. Pretty much the same printer, but wide carriage. Let me know if you are interested.

    I’m with Kooty. World Data is a great company to work with. I can’t tell you who you should talk to for old, reliable printers, but come Monday, late in the day, I’ll try to shoot you a PM, with who you should talk to.
