[HECnet] Which is THE dec printer?

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Makes sense.

At the VCF showing where we met, you had a neighbor, who ran a
Straight 8 system. Next to it was a printer with attached keyboard (or
without it, I can't recall), and a Model 33 teletype with a coil of
paper tape attached to it. What would have been its DEC branded
printer?

I think they still make dot matrix ones for those applications that
only a printer like that would do. Which includes financials and real

  Yes, dot matrix printers are still being manufactured.   Their primary
use is for multi-part forms.   One I've seen recently (last week) is an
Okidata Microline 320, with a USB interface, at a truck rental company.
