I would imagine several folks HAVE to stay with pin-printers because of their triplicate carbon paper for additional copies.
I had a laser printer once. It died just after starting on itssecond toner cartridge.
I love continuous form paper. It is so nice to be able to read alisting by flipping through it and have the pages stay together.
I win my bets, Gene. I would have bet you'd prefer that.
Of course, they could abandon that paper stock and simply print multiple copies.
And sort them out. It would be great fun if you are printingmany invoices per day. Custom invoice paper can have different colours for each layer.
...which could be programmed to print by tray # with colors in each, but yes, I concur that triplicate in different colors with a pin-printer is an easy ONE-PASS-PRINTING solution...provided you have the right drivers to make it work.
I guess you have to rethink printing in landscape on tractor feed systems. The stock is moving in portrait style unless you have to bizarre forms.
Did many years of unique car paper and the microline printer was always the BEST. We wanted it fast so it was always straight text and you controlled the font needed with escape codes. Never post an image to print as a form. Those took way too long.

Sure. It works.
Being "up-to-date" means letting others make your decisions for you. Being selective, I have solutions that work *for me* instead of the other way around.

What "right" drivers? The pin-printer just prints onto the three-part papaer making three copies. If you can print to the printer, it just works.
