Default dot matrix printer

The message . com
from Jules contains these words:

I'd much rather people either
left the errors intact or did their own proof-reading; the sign of
something that's been badly spell-checked implies laziness or
over-reliance on tools...


If you're sending something out to a potentially-critical audience, then
get it checked by a couple of reliable human proof-readers. We all
make mistakes, but better to have them discovered before they leave the
premises.

Then pop to the library to use their "all singing all
dancing" laser printer (O.K. it's more expensive than running them off
yourself, if to a better quality, but for a 'decent' job a bit extra
effort is warranted).



Consumer-grade printers seem to by and large be complete crap, plus they
really screw you on the consumables.


True, but reasonable ones aren't all that much more than the rubbish ones.
