Differenciate between impact printer and a non-impact printer?
Impact printers tend to be noisy while non-impact printers are much quieter. Impact printers use either small pins or characters to strike an ink ribbon and imprint an image onto paper. Non-impact printers use some type of ink that is applied to the paper without touching it. Both laser and ink jet printers are non-impact printers.
There are many different printers which you can buy, depending on nature of your work. If you are looking for a printer for personal use, you can pick from popular models of HP or Samsung. For heavy duty performance, you can use Xerox.
In simple terms - the printer has a vertical line of metal pins - that strike the paper through an ink ribbon, forming the words or images by creating microscopic dots on the paper.
Have a Dell 966 printer Is there a Lexmark cartridge that will work?
The answer seems to be "no" - I bought the Lexmark version of this cartridge, and it doesn't work - the chip on it causes the printer to read "invalid cartridge". Some older versions used an additional slot to differentiate between Dell and Lexmark, but they've now gone down the hardware route and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
That means you have to order from Dell, and I need to print today. $50 from Office Depot down the drain and no other option. I'm selling this POS printer and buying one from a company that doesn't so blatantly screw its customers.
What is the most expensive hp laser printer available?

How does a daisy wheel printer work?
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.

What is the difference between a laser printer and a line printer?
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.

List the 6 steps used by a laser printer to print a page?
1.Cleaning – Excess Toner is Scraped From The Photoelectric Drum. 2.Conditioning – A Uniform -600 Volt Charge is Placed on the Photoelectric Drum By The Primary Corona. 3.Writing – Laser Diodes Write An Invisible Electric Image on the photoelectric drum by causing the Drum surface, to be less negative wherever the laser beam hits. 4.Developing – This is where the transfer roller places the toner on the drum. The toner sticks to the areas that have had the electric charge lessened due to the laser beam 5.Transfer – The Secondary corona uses a positive charge to attract the toner from the drum to the paper. The paper gets charged by corona too. 6.Fusing – The toner is then melted into paper.

Can you use an ethernet cable to connect a printer to Windows 7 computer?
I do it through a router. My cord is plugged into the router. The router is plugged into the printer. In theory we could download the stuff to connect the other computer to the printer through the wireless connection but since it is hooked up directly to a different printer, we don't bother.
