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.

By chance, do you know of anyone who is selling that eprom already burnt?

Having implemented graphics using this printer, I can truly say the capability is beyond awful.
