Yes, when I was in college (mid-1970s), turning in anything handwritten was forbidden, you had to use a typewriter. Electronic anything, of course, was unheard of; back then the only computer was the big IBM in the computing center and computer science was a subgroup of the math department. Nowadays the most common use for my printer at home is making Amazon return labels.
