Our first printer was a dot matrix model, from I think a brand called Star or
something similar. Back then, in 1991 or so, a lot of employers in The
Netherlands offered programs wherein employees could buy computers through
their work, offered at a certain discount. My parents jumped on the opportunity
when my mom’s employer offered such a program, and through it, we bought a
brand new 286 machine running MS-DOS and Windows 3.0, and it included said dot
matrix printer.
That would be Star Micronics. A step below Epson, a step above Panasonic.
