Is there a print which will operate on MSDOS
(6.22)?

Manufacturers I phones said "no" - only Windows.

My computer is still only an MsDOS one - and
a fime machine it is,too, if only I still
had a printer!

They still make dot matrix printers if you want that real 1980s tech feel to your documents but I suspect that some simpler inkjet printers may work.

The problem comes with finding drivers for printers because while Windows manages all printing for programs -- under MSDOS each program had printer drivers. Luckily dot matrix models generally emulated an Epson FX80 which was the default printer for most MSDOS programs.
