Ummm....what is a dot matrix printer? Is that what they use to print those nifty graphics for the movie trilogy?
<grin> Seriously, don't forget about thermal transfer ribbon as well for label/card printers - also a security risk. We started shredding ours years ago, as we were printing name, DOB, SSN, etc...
