20$ that the printer test page = fail

@SuperMuddiger You're watching the video, right? Test did not "fail".

So, what kind of paper do you use and where can I buy it? (I know it's a dumb question but I still want to ask, anyway)

[kaiyoshi2243]

@VoulantisExperiments I got the fan-fold paper at Staples. They have a ton of stuff for the older legacy hardware. Including ribbons for these old printers.

The only reason this printer takes so long to print is because it doesn't impact on the return trip to it's home position. I had a Panasonic that printed on the trip out and on the trip back (talking about the impact head of course).

@coolgyger Yep, this printer only prints graphics in one direction. And since windows prints everything as graphics (from the printer's point of view) it takes longer. Now if I were to use text mode only, in windows, it would print in both directions.

I miss the sound of these printers :-(

A lot of businesses still use these printers. They can print carbon copy forms, you know where they print in triplicate. These are very useful in delivery and warehouse operations.

kinda sounds like a Skrillex mix

I can't believe they still makes these.
