We have over fifty dot-matrix printers, they are still very common and
serve a very important purpose - printing lots of simple documents
cheaply and *reliably*.  Actually inkjet prints don't accomplish either
of these goals;  the ink is MUCH to expensive per page and no
pinch-n-pull system will hold up as long as good old tractor feed.
