Then I have a nice Olivetti typewriter with RO RS-232 interface for you!
Also lots of the interface boards if you want to make your own, and even a
book about interfacing Selectrics if you prefer that route... ;-)
Yeah, I saw that USB manual TW conversion a year or so ago when it was just
a Make blog/video; looks like he's turned it into a nice little business at
those prices ;-)

I didn't hear about it.

Nice.
But, . . .
It uses the typewriter for input only. As long as it's connecting to all
of the mechanical key linkage, why not also have the solenoids needed to
print using the typewriter?
