   The MPS-802 is the same as the 1526.  It's a business class printer with   
   "push" tractor feed so that you don't waste a sheet of paper every time you   
   load the printer or advance to the next page.  It has tru decenders (j, y, g,   
   etc) under the line. It also has a ton of text and formatting commands for   
   printing forms and reports.  In stock form it isn't supported by most graphics   
   programs (other than GEOS), but you can download a graphics rom for free, burn   
   it to a 2764 eprom, and replace the original rom.  This retains all original   
   features and adds 1525 compatibility so that programs like print shop, etc,   
   all work correctly.   
      
   Of the three you mentioned, the 1526/MPS-802 with graphics rom is my favorite.   
      
   It's built like a tank and will run forever.
