The first computer printers were just existing electromechanical accounting machines, modified to connect to the computer instead of printing from punchcards. They were introduced on the earliest commercially available first generation computers (e.g. UNIVAC I, IBM 701, IBM 702).
Because they were very slow compared to the computer, in many cases they were actually connected "indirectly": the computer wrote the text to a magnetic tape then the operator took the magnetic tape to an offline tape drive that read it and sent the text to the printer.
