Home / Hardware - CGP-220



The Radio Shack TRS-80 CGP-220 (Cat. No. 26-1268) is a color inkjet printer. "CGP" stands for "Color Graphics Printer" and the 220 was the second and final printer in Radio Shack's CGP series (the first was the CGP-115, which was actually a plotter rather than a printer). The 220 debuted in 1984's RSC-10, p.31 with a list price of $699.

Every CGP-220 came bundled with a cassette containing a CoCo color screen dump program in machine language. This despite the CGP-220 also being compatible with, and marketed to, non-CoCo and even non-Tandy/Radio Shack computer owners. This shows how committed to the CoCo Tandy was at the time, and helped to raise the CoCo's profile outside the CoCo community.

Overall, the CGP-220 was well-received by reviewers.
