I started my career back in 1966, guess I must be one of the grey

Don't take long.
Since we're waxing nostalgic here,the first printer I ever setup was an
IBM 401 model, print hammers, wired panel board and all.
The 52,, series printers did a remarkable job, and in general gave a lot
less trouble than some of the newer printers.
Hey ...that's just progress.
The way technology is going today, I suspect all printers will
eventually be a thing of the past.
