Printer is an output device.
They are used to get a printed copy of the document on a paper.
Mainly there are two types of printers .
1. Impact Printer:
In impact printers, there is a direct contact between the printing mechanism and the printer.
It forms character images by staking a mechanism such as print hammer or wheel against an inked ribbon, leaving an image on the paper.
e.g.
Drum printer, Dot matrix printer , Daisy-wheel printer, Line printer

2. Nonimpact Printer:
Here, no direct physical contact between the print mechanism and page.

Laser Printer: Creates images with dots
