In my opinion, there are no advantages of a daisy wheel printer. I found them noisy, slow, and having to change the wheel to use a different font was a bind.
Impact printers are dot-matrix printers like the Okidats Microline series. they use a print-head that has anywhere from 9 to 24 small pins that are forced out of the head and onto an ink impregnated ribbon which hits the paper and makes the impression of the character... just like a typewriter. Inkjet printers are not impact printers :P
An impact printer, is one that has a mechanism that makes the letters physically strike the paper. Two examples would be a daisy-wheel and a golf-ball printer. Non-impact printers use either jets to quirt microscopic dots of ink onto the paper, or tiny electrical impulses to 'burn' the characters onto the paper. Two examples would be an ink-jet printer and a thermal printer.
