Try hooking up an ascii printer to an ebcdic mainframe. Now lets say it is a parallel printer which means bridging it over windows so that windows doesn't stuff up the spool file. Now lets make it a programmable printer say a Zebra, Monarch or Intermec. Enjoy : )
Perhaps an IP printer that only works through a windows driver so you can't bypass windows easily. (I am looking at you Samsung).
Perhaps you need to learn PCL/PJL, HPSI, daemons, LPD/LPR....there are circles in hell that specialise in these forms of pain.
I hate printers.
ps: I think the multi-function devices have reached acceptability.
I like the little hand that points to the image after it says "(Note illustration.)". Were people that ignorant of printed images back then or is it like a little mouse cursor pointing thing making you look over to the right?
@Skipweasel I totally agree. However in the defence of yanq's you do say 'July the 12th' or 'Feb 1st' etc don't you? Thus 7/12/10 makes sense. Or so an North American elegantly explained to me once (even though she preferred dd/mm/yy).
I much prefer ,,v

'THAT' is what 'THEY' want you to think.
How do I make the hand thing move?
