non-impact printer
<printer> Any printer, such as a laser printer, {ink-jet
printer}, LED page printer, that prints without striking the
paper, unlike a dot matrix printer which hits the paper with
small pins. Non-impact printers are quieter than impact
printers, and also faster due the lack of moving parts in the
print head.

simplex printer
<communications> A term applied by Western Union Telegraph
Company to teletypewriters that are not part of a
multiplex system. They usually provided for alternate
transmission in both directions. If working simplex or
half-duplex, what was keyed in at the keyboard would be
typed out at the printing portion. If working full-duplex,
sending would be blind as the printing portion was being used
only for reception.

Printer (computing)
In computing, a printer is a peripheral machine which makes a persistent representation of graphics or text, usually on paper. While most output is human-readable, bar code printers are an example of an expanded use for printers. Different types of printers include 3D printers, inkjet printers, laser printers, and thermal printers.
