forget about laser and inkjet printers, dot matrix printers rule forever as work horses!

Awesome video! You made me want to go out and buy a dot matrix for all the reasons you discussed. They are a bit pricier than the average consumer inkjet, but all of the hardware is built into the printer itself, and not ink cartridges (i.e. I could buy 4-5 ink ribbons for a dot matrix for the price of a single inkjet cartridge). What kind of maintenance have you done to it over the years OP?

Were you printing from Windows? That slows dot matrix printers down a LOT because it prints everything as hi-res graphics. Try printing from DOS EDIT -- it will got much, much faster because DOS will send it to the printer as plain text.

I'm aware of Windows sending as rasters..
But it's connected to a 2003 Enterprise domain controller... It has to be this way.

i love those printers, i used to have a star lc 10 colour and it was great for school assignments and stuff. they dont build printers liek they used to!
Sephy69 3 years ago
Oh oh! I used to have a Star 24-pin model.
It died a few years ago, after a couple struggling years. It would lock up during a print and just make a loud beep. Finally it gave up and did the long beep upon power on. Had to toss it, which sucked, because it had a print quality of a laser jet, but the reliability of a dot matrix.
This printer in the video is a 9 pin, running on an Epson RX-80 driver (as recommended by Panasonic.)
