No, thermal and line printers are two different things.
"Line" printers are referring to a form of "Dot-Matrix" printers.
"Thermal" printers burn a special paper to form characters and symbols.
Thermal Printer
An advantage of a thermal printer is printing speed and quality. A disadvantage of a thermal printer is the higher cost.

Thermal Printer
i think yes
A Thermal printers use print wires that are heated in the thermal printer so that they can burn dot patterns into special thermal paper, while thermal wax printers use thermal printhead to melt dots of wax-based ink from the transfer ribbon onto the paper. When the wax is cool, it is permanently attached to the page. Unlike direct thermal printer, the thermal wax printer does not require special paper to print on.

Nope they are categorized under impact printers. Some examples of non impact are: line printer, daisy wheel printer, golf ball printer, dot matrix printer, Braille printer.
Instead of using ink to make letters show up, thermal printers use a special type of paper that darkens where heat is applied. So you can print from any program onto a thermal printer as long as you have paper that is specifically for a thermal printer.
One can purchase a thermal label printer from an online retailer such as Amazon or eBay. One could also purchase a thermal label printer from an in-store location such as Office Depot.
A thermal printer and a laser printer are non-impact printers. A dot matrix, that fires pins against an inked roller, and uses a tractor roller to feed continuous paper through the printer, is an example of an impact printer.
