A question for retro tech bros:
My employer is still using an OKI dot matrix printer, model Microline 620, and an Epson dot matrix printer, model FX-890.
The OKI printer is not working, and the FX-890 will only print some screens, but not all.
It's an older Windows system, but I'm not sure which one, might be XPS.
In the "available printer list" all of the printer statuses are "idle", nothing in que.
What can be done to get Windows communicating again with the dot matrix printers?
TIA.

What's the best way for a non-techy person to boost their wifi signal to a room further back in the apartment? Do wifi range extenders work? Thanks!

I've a question about Kate/KWrite:
Is there a quick way to highlight just one line of text?
On Gnome Text Editor/Gedit/Pluma/Xed you can triple click, and that highlights the line. On Kate/Kwrite, though, triple clicking also highlights the newline character at the end of the line: I don't want to do that.
I tried looking in the "configure shortcuts" settings menu and didn't see a way to create a shortcut for highlighting one line, either with the mouse or keyboard.
Can it be done?

Poll for people who used #WindowsXP or earlier:
Did you find it difficult to read the default font on #Windows ? I ask because I noticed that from #WindowsVista and beyond, the font looks much easier to read.
