As said, dot matrix printers are still very much in use in areas where a paper trail is required for evidence and documentation. Here in Germany that includes health care, and the public sector (administration, legal, and law enforcement).

I hope the city of Munich takes a good look at all that. Their decision to switch from Linux to Windows 10 was very much substantiated by support of legacy soft- and hardware.
