I recently bought a dot matrix printer on E Bay. I do a lot of printing for school, my kid, etc, that doesnt require high quality and those printers are work horses and supplies are cheapo! I expect I will still be using it when I retire in a hundred or so years.
@Curves: I still specify that the Epson LQ-2180 be used on control projects (old number was LQ-2080 for the geeks in the crowd). The new models have RJ-45, USB and LPT ports on them or option for it. These things are tanks. They can print all day long on wide carriage paper.
@TheCapt: Ahhhh the sound of a dot matrix printer, as it goes back and forth, and like telephone "bells" and the click clack of typewriters, a sound you dont hear much any more.

Changing a printer ribbon is a lost art.
