Dot Matrix Printers Are Still Alive! Discover Why They're Not Obsolete 🚀

The reports of the death of the dot matrix are an exaggeration! In this episode, we explore the dot matrix printer, how impact printers work well with carbonless printing, and how you can connect to a dot matrix printer using Fedora Linux. You can even hook an old parallel, centronics, or serial printer up to a modern network using an HP JetDirect print server! You might find this interesting as well- I don't have a fast enough camera to capture this sort of thing, but this video shows exactly how the pins in a dot matrix printer work, and it is super neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk3iJJ9PpDY Thank you so much for watching, and if you'd like to help support the channel, I've set up a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/veronicaexplains You can also follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/VKCsh Thanks for helping me make fun Linux content!
