I have used these printers on and off for over 12 years. They are generally reliable and good for a 9 pin dot matrix.
Some early ones had problems with weak drive gears, but later ones are fine. I had to go through about 50 of these looking for dodgy gears and replacing them!!!!!
They support both IBM and EPSON control codes and have an easy to use menu which prints as it goes.
They are available with both Centronics and RS232 sockets.
Extras include various tractor feed modules.
For business use with pre printed stationary they are excellent and are my favourite DMP.

Picture Quality, well it is a dot matrix hence poor. it is also mono.
In general OKI printers are very good, we have a colour laser at work which is very good and I will review it and the bigger version we get our customers to buy.
My only concerns with the printer are as follows, Windows support - tends to push the printer into graphics mode which slows it down - no problem with our package! and also the rise of cheap lasers and laser printed stationary.
This is not a long review as there is not really a lot to say.
Noise level is not too bad - foam lined inside but you still won't want to sit next to one on a long run of delivery notes.

What's the noise level like? Last dot matrix printer I used was so loud I wanted to pull my hair out. I never actually owned a dot matrix printer though.
