    I’m old enough to remember when printers didn’t need drivers.

      I have a functioning ancient Canon printer in my office that can do that. 🌚

      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.
