Скачать или смотреть This retro printer creates my daily newsletter and more… using PHP

I converted an old dot matrix printer into a network accessible newsletter machine. It's not just the news, either. I've used this thing to print out recipes, code reviews, articles, and even graphics.

No soldering required, just a Raspberry Pi, USB adapter, and a little sprinkling of PHP.
