Lovely, ain't it? :D

Ahh the sound of a real printer :) me - 1990 in school 3rd grade printing a BLACK BOX on printshop just....because :) How i miss this sound... yes this is what computer labs sounded like an smelled lovely too

🎶 The rest of you hear "screaming", I hear music to my ears! 🎶

This microline have a good grayscale quality !

WHY AM I LAUGHING AT THIS

this is the fist time I've heard a printer screaming during printing....it's almost scary!

I had a dot matrix printer but it didn't scream bloody hell like this, it went zzzzzzzzzzzz all smooth.

Owe my ears.

You should have heard my friend's 300 series 24-pin Oki, that thing is LOUD!!! :P

I wonder if its possible to get an image by processing the sound it makes.

I knew they could print images...but I didn't know they screamed such protestations about doing it lol. Thanks though, this is exactly what I wanted to see.

IT SCREAM

dat scream!

I'm pretty sure my neighbours would think I was hitting my wife, if I tried to print anything with one of those.

It worries me more that your neighbours would know what you hitting your wife sounds like!! :S

When you buy a club penguin membership, but then club penguin shuts down a few minutes later

Is that the sound of a printer, or a pig being slaughtered? The first computer my family owned had one of these dot matrix printers. Our parents gave us specific rules that we were not allowed to print anything if one of them was asleep.

Sounds like a bandsaw in the butcher shop

the noise aint got nuthin on a daisy wheel

Wow holy shit.

Wow, never knew that those pins can only partially hit the paper. I thought it's only hit or miss.

It uses a technique called halftone. It is binary as you originally thought.

Hi, Any idea whats the differences between the ML3320 and ML5520, both are 9 pin, column but I'm not sure whats the difference. I currently have a old ML5520 and need a replacement but looking at the ML3320 due to the lower price. It's required for invoice printing.

To be honest I don't really know the difference, the only Oki model I've used is my ML280 Elite, looking at the specs between the 3320 and 5520, they're pretty much the same, the 5520 just looks more modernised on the outside...

I would do anything to have that printer on my computer

Plenty of dot matrix printers on ebay, not sure about this specific model (I love it too much to part with it!!), but it's whether or not you can make them work with modern OSes that can be the drawback... :)

As on any printer, including laser and inkjet. None achieves actual gray levels (or you would need 256 cartridges)

+jacob cla Hi, I'm not a mac user, but a friend of mine advises to install something called "CUPS" (use a version appropriate to your OS version) on your Mac which will allow you to add the printer to the control panel. I don't know any more than this, but here's a link to the CUPS download: github.com/apple/cups/releases Hope this helps! :)

what's your operating system?

I think I used two computers on this video, the picture was printed from Windows XP over USB, and the text was from Windows98SE over Parallel... :)

Well you wouldn't do a print run at 3 in the morning anyway. Modern ones are so much more quiet. I also remember the daisy wheel printers.
