yes-there might be a few: Epson, maybe lexmark , OKI. You may have to also install Foomatic or Gimp-Print. I'd say if you managed to find an Imagewriter II, it's possible, in theory. I haven't seen any of the those printers for a long long time though

Thank you for your input. I'll be running a small business that requires printed invoices for all customers. It will be much easier to use NCR paper than to have everything done in duplicate.
I have an imagewriter II that I still use, but the setup is now very convoluted, and requires the LocalTalk option card and a Mac running 10.4 or earlier.
John Galt used to have one as well.
Most business have just thrown up their hands and laser-printed two copies, sometimes from different trays to get different colored papers.
Pin-feed forms are getting hard-to-find, and interfacing an old serial printer could be difficult -- it's a lost art.
Even NCR paper really dates you -- ask a teenager what that is if you want to see a really blank look.
You might find the dot-matrix printer, but finding a viable ribbon is a different story.
Why do you think you need dot-matrix?
Yes and then there's finding the tractor paper to feed it.
Oh i'm dated for sure! I would really like to use NCR paper. It saves a lot of time for the office and the field tech
I'm buying a small pest control business and state law requires a paper copy of all work done at any given location to be left by the field tech. Dot matrix printing will print on NCR paper and eliminate the need to write everything twice.
You want a dot matrix to print in a van while on the job? and be reliable in all weather? and be stored with chemicals and banged around every day?
I think you just described the impossible.
Are there any dot matrix printers that work with a MacBook Pro?
