Dot matrix printers, which are "impact" printers, will do it. You can still get these--you need one to print on FedEx shipping labels and things like that.
Usually there are gears in printers to turn the rollers that push the paper through.
Some printers have pull out trays in the back, where you can easily unjam the paper.
The holes on the left and right margins of printer paper are called tractor feed holes and are used to help guide the paper through continuous feed printers. These printers use sprockets or tractors to ensure the paper is fed through accurately and consistently. Tractor feed holes are no longer necessary for most modern printers that use friction feed mechanisms.
The first Dot Matrix printers were sold in 1970. These were somewhat larger than the printers of today, with the capacity to print up to 80 columns at one time. The paper had to have holes on the sides to guide the paper through the printer.
It helps you get what you need on paper easily without troubles (although sometimes printers get frustrating)
Inkjet and laser printers are non-impact printers, as they don't actually makes contact with the paper. Unlike the dot-matrix and daisy wheel, impact, printers. These actually make contact with the paper.
Impact printer
For a compact scanner you can use normal paper wether its thick or thin. Everyone should work not like other printers such as laser printers or mobile printers who needs special paper.
Impact printers use a 'daisy wheel' or a 'golf ball' to physically press letters through an ink ribbon onto the paper - think along the lines of an old typewriter. Non-impact printers 'squirt' microscopic drops of liquid ink directly onto the paper.
In general manufacturers recommend not reusing paper at anytime in a printer especially laser printers because the humididty in the paper is greatly reduced upon going through the fuser which could cause curling and incrases the chances of jamming

White paper is a sheet of paper that is completely white and is mostly used for printers.
