yes bro, as long as it is working and I am able to replace with new ribbons.

 

I need to connect it to the server to be shared by 4 PCs, so that all can print, hopefully you do have the driver also.

 

Can page me to link up with you?

Gotta find it first lah bro. No promises first, OK? Will try and see if it's easy to locate and post in the next couple of days - but if you find another lobang in the meantime, please go ahead.

 

Merry Xmas.

of cause no lah, [laugh] if like that every MNC just go buy 1 used dot matrix printer can liao, what for pay millions to engage top CEOs......

 

just step 1 to start with the changes........................or sld I say to revert back to normal operation..........

 

the co has 5 boxes of printed DOs, those 3 copies carbon type, which need to be printed by Dot matrix, but the old lady refuse to use and printed DOs on plain paper, and chop with co stamp don't even know where she kept the old printer.

 

this printer is just my tool to push for changes only, without the changes, sales is heading no where.

Very sorry to disappoint bro. But I had a quick rummage through my things and couldn't locate my d-m printer. Do have 3 fully functional old Bubblejets though. And a huge bulky CRT monitor, 2 ADSL modems, a 56k dial-up modem, and even a shrinkwrapped new 5.25 inch diskette pack. But not what you want.

 

I don't think it helps your need but there are dot matrix fonts available, like here: http://www.fontspace.com/category/dot+matrix

 

But there may be a couple of shops in Little India where they buy and sell old IT eqpt. I think there's one in Upp. Dickson road. Saw them selling huge server racks (the ancient type) before.

no worries bro, thanks for the thought and so sorry to make you run through the old stuff on X'mas eve. And thanks for the information.

 

BTW, are you sure you still keep those things? I thought I am old school enough.....

[Mazdaowner]

I have one, but I can LOAN it to you, after which when done, return it back to me.

How would you be needing to use it for? Sell....hmm..I have to speak with finance.

Working and driver downloadable, I just might be able to find the CD. After the holidays can?

Let me know, so I'll check my side to see if it's still there, a lot of defunk stuff that I keep.

Yeah, if you want printer cable also got. Hmm...print serve....I remember got one with 4 or was it 2 switch. Want it also?
