Absolutely! No better way to consume other's code than going through it on a printout!
This was the very reason I looked out for a modern dot-matrix printer, last year, only to find, that they have gotten pretty expensive (at least when compared to the InkJets and Lasers and in color, you also want more than 80 columns, etc.).
Also, what I did not find was a printer utility, that would print as many pages as still readable onto the paper, with a special emphasis on source code (hilite, etc.)
I did not purchase, however, since it is not so often, that I have to go through somebody else's full source-code.
- greggman3 6y agono thanks. I'll take one click to find a reference over paper any day.
- pantulis 6y agoIt's not about finding references, it's about the general structure of the code and annotations on the printout. Granted, I guess this is a preference of people who cut their teeth in another era of 80x25 displays before modern editors so to each their own.
- zmix 6y ago> it's about the general structure of the code and annotations on the printout. This! It's like "wading" through the code, being able to jump forth and back and setting remarks.

- zmix 6y agoCool, thanks!
