24 pins to the platen

Thanks to Seneca, I now have this noisy, slow behemoth in my basement.

It’s kind of neat that Ubuntu supports this 24 year old printer out of the box.

    I have come to the conclusion that the pc stopped being intrisically interesting at some point around when we moved away from text interfaces and impact printers. Congrats on an awesome find. Of course, the real question is how to find consumables for it.

    It’s also a bit interesting that Epson still has a support page for it, including a MSDS (yikes!). http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14324
