I would guess most on this list can. At least those

bought a computer in the 1970's. I think my Heath H-19 was about US $600
back when they were new. I remember dot-matrix printers for $1600. Now
I held out for a couple of years before I decided I needed a printer. I
bought a used Trendcom 100 for $200 or so. I probably still have some
brown curled-up thermal 6502 listings someplace.
These days, I can get along fine without a printer. I only use them to
generate old fashion fax machine input. Web forms and email have made
printers nearly obsolete (soon to be RARE).
