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.

A Daisy Wheel Printer is an old fashioned impact printer, based on electric typewriter technology. All of the characters (letters, numbers, and punctuation marks) were on spokes radiating from a central axle and somewhat resembled a daisy, hence the name. The printing was relatively slow, but the impressions were incredibly clear as long as there was a fresh printer ribbon.

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.
Several types of printers used an ink or carbon ribbon in the way you described. The daisy wheel printer and ball printer would spin a wheel that has the printable characters, then the wheel would strike the ribbon, leaving an imprint on the paper. The dot matrix printer used a number of pins that struck the ribbon to generate a printable character. The chain printer had several full sets of all printable characters on a long chain, and the chain spun rapidly on a track. As the appropriate printable character arrived at the proper location, a high speed solenoid driven hammer struck the chain, causing the ribbon to leave an imprint on the paper.
