So, out of interest, what was the last/most reliable/most desirable DEC 
true line printer - i.e. chain/band rather than matrix?

My first year at college ~ 1990 included VAX/Pascal programming with 
assignments printed to a true line printer.
Happy times in that lovely warm computer room on cold, dark winter days...

IMHO, the LXY21!

The LXY21 is a matrix printer, a re-badged Printronix machine.

Yup.   'Twas still a nice line printer.   I printed walls of boxes of greenbar
on the LXY21.
