You can try comp.sys.apple2.marketplace (plus Macintosh hardware
newsgroups) for that. If you prefer Apple-brand printers, you might try
to get one of these:

Apple Dot Matrix Printer
Apple ImageWriter
Apple ImageWriter II

These are dot matrix printers. They are "ribbon compatible" with the
following printers:
C. Itoh 1550, 1550S, 8510, 8510A, 8510S
NEC PC 8000, 8023
TEC 1150, 8510

Sorry, can't help on that - Applesoft's own editing features are enough
for me.

Try Ctrl-S to pause output - it's a very little bit more comfortable
because you can continue listing. Or try to list only specific lines of
code:

     LIST 10      (* lists line 10 only *)
     LIST 50 -    (* lists line 50 and following *)
     LIST - 50    (* lists lines up to (and including) 50 *)
     LIST 20 - 40 (* lists lines 20 to (and including) 40 *)
