Samsung SGH-P910 (2006)

Retas egzempliorius, sukurtas skaitmeninės televizijos transliacijoms (DVB-H). Tai televizorius kišenėje su unikalia konstrukcija, kuri šiandien atrodo kaip inžinerinis retro-futurizmas.

ARM9 208 MHz procesorius, 30 MB vidinė atmintis, MicroSD lizdas, 2,2 colio TFT ekranas, 240x320 raiška, pasukamas ekranas, ištraukiama antena, 1,3 MP kamera, 950 mAh baterija, matmenys 97x50x24mm, svoris 125 g.

P910 ekranas galėjo pasisukti 90 laipsnių kampu, pritaikydamas vaizdą patogiam TV programų žiūrėjimui. Įrenginys turėjo stereogarsiakalbius ir specialią anteną signalo priėmimui. Nors DVB-H technologija netapo masine, šis modelis puikiai iliustruoja gamintojų bandymus integruoti televiziją į mobiliuosius įrenginius.

A question for retro tech bros:

My employer is still using an OKI dot matrix printer, model Microline 620, and an Epson dot matrix printer, model FX-890.

The OKI printer is not working, and the FX-890 will only print some screens, but not all.

It's an older Windows system, but I'm not sure which one, might be XPS.

In the "available printer list" all of the printer statuses are "idle", nothing in que.

What can be done to get Windows communicating again with the dot matrix printers?

TIA.
