My gran has asked me if it is possible to get something that will type and print letters, with a screen of sorts so she can see what she is writing.
I would suggest a laptop but she is 83 and is not willing to learn now how to use a computer.
Literally all she wants to do is type a letter and print it out.
Any suggestions?

I know you can get electric word processors, which have an LCD screen, and a built in dot matrix printer, as my grandfather has one. He did buy it a few years ago though, and it wasn't cheap. Probably get a decent 2nd hand laptop for less these days.
Have a look at this page on FREEADS.COM. Seems to be quite a few on there.I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

Not very easy to get
I've had a brother typewriter with an lcd screen in my loft for a few years. I'd love to give it to my uncle who needs a typewritter - but he can't even get to grips with the much less technical one I gave him years ago
I think I'll try and stear him towards a cheapy laptop with all the settings hidden and only the wordpad icon on the desktop0
