I use a Seiko DPU-414 thermal printer with my T102. It has both parallel
(Centronix) and serial (9 pin female D-sub)  connections. It runs off 6v
external (same power barrel connector and polarity as the M100), and has
provisions for an internal rechargeable Ni-Cd type battery (4x AA cells).

Got it off eBay a number of years ago as a "pull" from some sort of ATM
machine. They can still be found around the internet. It takes a 4-3/8"
thermal paper roll (available on Amazon), and is a nice size match to the
computer, if you want portability.

Unless you use the portable printer Radio Shack sold for use with the M100,
the "High Bit" graphics characters (128 - 255 decimal)  will not be a
match, but the standard characters 0 - 127 decimal will be the same for
pretty much all printers.

Regards,

Peter
