Most, the trick is to get one that understands a recognised protocol
such as PCL or Postscript, as most of these will also work as plain text
printers. Unfortunatly this tends to be the higher end printers, also it
seems that most cheap printers these days are USB only, which also cuts
down on the possibilities :(
Cheers.
