Als Geek Lab | Unboxing Star Micronics Colour Dot Matrix Printer. Will it work? @AlsGeekLab | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
I picked up this 1989 Star Micronics NX-1000 dot matrix printer from a recent computer warehouse haul in Auckland. There's a good chance it hasn't seen much use in 25-ish years, but I was surprised to see that it came in its original box. During the unboxing you'll see that its manuals and cables all present and correct, so I had hopes that this epson compatible printer might work.This lovely little printer was one I was familiar with from primary school back in the day of the BBC micro, and it was a very nice machine back in its day.
