Since u guys r talking about inkjet printing...have u been able to find a model of inkjet printer that can handle color printing from a 64? If so which one?

I do have one with a centronics port that could possibly be made usable if I can get an interface for the 64. Though would likely still be at the 9pin print quality it should work.
