   The VIC-1520 plotter. Not the same as a conventional colour printer,   
   but fun (possibly more fun) anyway:   
   http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/peserial2.html   
      
   Looking further through the printer listing on that site, a few   
   other Commodore serial printers with colour support are described   
   there:   
      
   MPS-1224c:   
   http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/plserial2.html   
      
   MCS-810 (I've got one of these! But never had a ribbon for it and   
   the head's worn out (probably from me printing on heat-sensitive   
   paper as a solution to the ribbon problem)):   
   http://www.zimmers.net/cbmpics/pmcs810.html   
    - Rebadged Okimate 10 printers, so there's an entry point for   
      researching colour printers from other manufacturers.   
      
   MCS-801:
