Although it is rather old, the Canon BJ-10ex is a great match for the
IIgs and folds up to the size of a 1" binder or smaller. It is a little
bigger if you get the optional sheet feeder for it. I have one here but
it is starting to give me some trouble.
The nice thing about the BJ-10ex is that is has Epson LQ support so any
Apple II program that supports an Epson printer, and especially the LQ,
will work just fine. It has a text mode so you can even PR#1, LIST
Applesoft to the printer.
I'm sure there are lots of other options, though.
