ℒӱḏɩę :blahaj: 💾I totally just bought a dot matrix printer with intent to bring into my office at work. Can't wait to hear my coworkers' reaction when I print something. Hell, I should bring in my IBM 5155 for bonus effect. EDIT: Know what else this printer doesn't have? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots</a><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retro</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/vintage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#vintage</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/dotmatrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dotmatrix</a>

Games That I MissedAlso delivered were two wide-format dot matrix tractor feed printers!These things are in rough shape: the foam padding is crumbling to dust, there's metal plating flaking off the rods, and they're just generally full of dust and debris and undoubtedly spider eggs. My relative insists that they work, though. When pressed, they explained that they worked perfectly thirty or forty years ago.[Edit: forgot to add the pictures.]<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DotMatrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DotMatrix</a>

Laurent FRANCOISEJ'ai réparé mon imprimante matricielle ! 🎉 C'est une Star LC-10, elle imprimait un début de ligne et le chariot se bloquait avant que l'imprimante ne se mette en erreur. J'ai vérifié l'alimentation, la commande du moteur du chariot, RAS. Au final c'était un problème mécanique, j'ai graissé les éléments mobiles du chariot et j'ai fait tourner le ruban encreur dans sa cartouche avec une visseuse électrique, et ça m'a l'air bon maintenant !
