The only printers that stick in my memory as being significant were the
Okidata Okimate printers. I remember really wanting one of those. I
don't think they were the first, though.

Doing some searches, I came across a page that has lots of pictures and
specs of Commodore printers:

Some of them are color and have model numbers like MCS-810 so maybe
that's what you were remembering. Hmm.. looks like the MCS-810 is just
a repackaged Okimate 10 which may have been Okidata's first color dot
matrix.
