I knew you could still get dot matrix printers (although I don't
particularly recall it being Oki making them, also they are stupid
expensive probably because hardly nobody buys them), however I'm a
little confused/surprised as to why they are still making 9-pin
models.

As for the Speccy question, I'm pretty sure LPRINT, LLIST work fine,
at least with the Centronics interface.  I've never tried an RS232
printer on a Spectrum.  There's some way of printing the screen too,
but I fail to remember what it is (maybe COPY?).
