Once upon a time, not so long ago, printers were huge noisy machines, printing rows of grey words and figures on piles of perforated paper in the corners of office blocks. Yes, I realise that probably does reveal my age a bit, but it amazes me how far technology has come in a relatively short time, because I'm not actually that old, but I do remember those days. It's funny to think that people printing out their spreadsheets and invoices in the 70's and 80's with that oh-so-familiar noise of the dot matrix forming each character from tiny dots, would never be able to imagine how versatile printers are these days.
