I'm old enough to remember when printers didn't need drivers.
echo Hello World > lpt1I have a functioning ancient Canon printer in my office that can do that. ๐
Would still be using it if not for safety concerns regarding old laser printers.
Its been a while, but hospitals used to use dot matrix printers, at least up through 2013, likely longer.
Why dot-matrix? Carbon copy papers, white, yellow, pink, all get printed simultaneously.
