Sooooooooo, things happened, and I now have a dot matrix printer again. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚

(One of the end goals is to simulate a hardcopy terminal on my old box. Iโ€™m waiting for another cable to arrive, I donโ€™t have USB there. And then use ed(1) like it was meant to be used! ๐Ÿ˜…)

@lyse When/if I can pull it off, there _will_ be videos! ๐Ÿ˜…

I never used hardcopy terminals, either. We did have a dotmatrix printer, but that was just used as a regular printer.

Inkjets, I donโ€™t know. They were pretty fascinating and cool when they came out. A lot faster than dotmatrix and obviously quiter. They never gave me much trouble, actually. But I switched to a laser printer long before crap like DRMโ€™ed ink cartridges became a thing.
