I see what you mean, but I think the effort might still have merit. We don't
need to have EVERY printer from openprinting.org input into h-node. We only
need to add the ones that someone has experience with using under a Libre
GNU/Linux distro.
alucardx: "If you happen to find a compatible device, please add it to
h-node.org"
openprinting.org is dedicated to printing whereas h-node.org encompasses all
hardware. Openprinting's printer -and knowledge- base is so huge that it
would be a serious duplication of effort to import -and
Will do. Thanks!
That's all very helpful. Thanks!
In some cases DOT Matrix is a necessary evil. If you need to print on
carbon-copy forms and have the print go through all copies this is the only
way to efficiently achieve it. You could also use a type-writer or Bic...but
I digress.
The best thing I can suggest is looking at what new
I don't know what kind of compatibility you are looking for. Dot matrix
printers are not well suited for graphics printing, including host-rendered
custom fonts, so the best course is using one of the the printer's onboard
fonts, which minimizes compatibility issues. I had once used OKI
Think Penguin doesn't sell dot matrix printers. I don't know why the OP wants
one, but it's a very particular (old style) type of printer and not really
similar to any of Think Penguin's offerings.
Try thinkpenguin. That is your best bet.
Didn't find anything there. I may end up buying one from a store with an easy
return policy.
I have no idea. You might have luck checking on h-node.
Bump... still look for suggestions. Looking to move away from the cost and
waste of inkjet printing.
To follow-up, I'm interested in the Epson LQ590 and Okidata Microline 320,
but would consider others that might work. Looking for reliability, long
print head and ribbon life. I didn't find much on H-node.
Can anyone recommend a current model dot matrix printer that works well with
Trisquel 7?
