That's a really good point.
Funny enough, it's also one of the best receipt printers I've ever seen. It looks like somebody has successfully miniaturized laser printer technology and crammed it into a receipt tape form factor - the thing ripped the 2 and 1/2 ft receipt out in about 2 seconds.
I'm not exactly sure this is the capitalism breeds innovation that we were looking for... But a tip of my hat to whatever material science and robotics wizards made that possible, even if it's giving me flashbacks to the one scene in the Captain Planet title sequence where Dr. Blight is feeding the rainforest directly into a dot matrix printer. 😛
