   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.
