A "serial printer" is a printer that use one cable that send "1" or "0" after one another to be understood as a character by the recipient device. The most common serial interface is "RS232" which may be used to control a fleet of devices, also printers. Because of obvious speed issues, to transfer a huge picture on an RS232 would take hours, the modern printers cannot use this interface for that, so instead, they use the "parallel" or "Line Printer" interface - where multiple wires send signals to the printer at once - as they used to in old days to the line printers.
On an old PC, you have the serial interface, RS232, on the "COM" port that you also used to attach the mouse to, while the Line Printer or "parallel" interface is the broad "LPR" connector used for printers and scanners and tape stations before USB was invented.
The question is "fish and fowl"...
The line printer is a specific type of printer where the letters spun around using chains and was halted to bring the correct imprint - 132 characters in one shot.
This could in theory only use a serial interface, it needed a parallel interface. The serial printer was one made with a buffer of many lines, to compensate for the low speed on the single wire (typically max 9600 bits per second). You may for instance drop the transfer of blank characters at the end of the line - most lines are less than 132 characters. There are other serial interfaces for shorter cables and higher speed. I remember just the Diablo printer (by Xerox) as capable of using the serial port, but expect that any printer could use it, also line printers. The serial interface could work for about 100 feet, while a parallel one less than 10. With the serial interface the printer could be away from the server, while the line printer had to be close to the server. With "Current loop" - a variant of RS232, where the signals travels on a live line, this could be extended at least 300 feet, and speed up to 64K bit per second - half of this was typical.
A line printer uses characters.
A laser printer uses pixels.
A line printer is also known as a chain printer where the entire character font set is built up in metal type, with one character mounted on each link of the chain. The faces of the metal characters are wetted by moving across an ink pad.
Each character position on the line has a hammer. When the right character is in the proper position, the hammer fires and then the paper gets pressed against the inked typeface to get an imprint.
A laser printer uses a revolving charged glass cylinder. The laser can discharge the glass at points where no ink is wanted, causing the no toner to stick onto the surface of the cylinder at those points.
Then the paper is pressed against the cylinder as it revolves, transferring the toner from the cylinder to the paper.
The paper is then passed over a heater to melt and fuse the toner to the paper.
what are the differences between line and page printer
A character printer prints each letter individually. A line printer prints the whole line of text at one time.
A line matrix is a type of printer which is a compromise between a dot matrix printer and a line printer.
The answer will vary depending on the type/model of printer. If it is a ink printer, you probably have an obstruction. If it is a laser printer then you likely have a problem with your imaging drum or LED/Laser. Either way, a proper cleaning (about $70 in my neighborhood) may resolve the problem.

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.
There are many different types of printers. Laser printers use a laser technique and toner to create the image on paper. Solid ink printer use ink stick (crayons basically) that get melted and then sprayed onto a drum and transfered onto paper. Line printers usually use a line of hammers that strike an ink ribbon to create the text. Ink printer and plotters use a printhead that moves back and forth and sprays the ink onto the media.
Most modern printers laser or otherwise have some sort of scanning capabilities. To confirm a particular printers capabitlities you will have to review the documentation for the specific printer either on-line at the company website or in printer related documents. Most printer list their capabilities on the machine.
what are the advantages of line printer
Yes there is a large difference between the two. A line has no end and a line segment ends.
The Canon Image Class MF3240 is a laser printer. This printer requires a Canon X25 cartridge. These cartridges are available on line at Amazon, Graphic Toners, Overstock and eBay.
What is the difference between a trend line and a line of best fit
Laser foil is used to give a nice finish to writing paper, it is used in any conventional printer and is readily available to purchase at most hardware and computer stores. It is also easy to purchase on-line.
