The '''Gould 5200''' was a printer introduced in 1975, succeeding the Gould 5100 plotter. The output was a 200 DPI raster, much like the [[XGP]].

At [[MIT]], one such printer was associated with the MIT-MC [[KL10]]. The supporting software accepted all the XGP file formats. According to archived files, it seems to have been connected first to the IO-11 front end. Later it was moved to the Plasma Group in MIT Building 38 and connected to another PDP-11 with was also the hub for several terminals there. The connection back to MC was first a serial line, but later replaced with Chaosnet; the printer was available at the "GOULD" contact.
