My 1996 Lexmark BW compact laser printer just died.
1996...nearly 30 years.
I can probably fix it, just keeps saying paper jam. When I'm bored I'll open it up.
Oh, and it's a centronix connector, ha!
I bet there’s still CUPS support for it, you can probably print to it via CUPS
Today in my office kitchen I saw 'CUPS' sticker on a drawer and was like 'who prints stuff in a kitchen'? I took me 3 seconds to realize.
There is.
It's been on a Windows box for years with a $9.99 centronix-to-USB cable
My guess some paper got jammed. You have to unjam it.
Hahahahaha
Dang, yer a smart one, thanks for the advice, Dad! 🤣
