25 yr old responding here: dot matrix printers are the ones that make a 
loud buzzsaw type of noise each time the print head moves back and 
forth. They print by striking a small pin against an ink ribbon. The 
more pins you have, the higher the print resolution. They are still used 
quite a bit for receipt printing.

And since we're getting all low-tech, I remember the daisy-wheel printer 
I used with my dad's osbourne portable computer. That thing was cool :)
