MPS802, 8 of 9 IIRC.

Again MPS802. After the hack it was the far superior machine but from the
basic capabilities I wonder what Commodore's intention was with this
printer...

801 and 803 were somewhat identical, but the 803 was able to print
bidirectional.

The articles you mentioned have been published in late 1985, I think.
