I’ve never said I need Raybans with cameras or a hockey puck that tells me the weather. An ass printer, though… yeah, I would enjoy that.
@dosnostalgic that means all we have left are assless printers
@dosnostalgic We really need to bring back 90s era advertising

@dosnostalgic Just plug into the RS232 like a conventional printer.

I dont think I ever owned a printer that used RS232. Went from Commodore Serial straight to Centronics.

@dosnostalgic to be fair, printers have always been kinda ass, especially the modern ones

Print looks half-assed
