I still remember my old Star NX-1000 dot matrix printer. Used regular
typewriter style ribbon, worked great for generating hard copies of
command line output. Do they still make line printers these days?

Yes, but you wont like the price.

Not clear what the command line output is about, thats got nothing
to do with the other question of how the printing is done physically.

Epson, Okidata, Tally Genicom (formerly Mannesman Tally) all
still make dot matrix impact printers. Star Micronics only makes
impact receipt printers. Their website says:

"The demand for dot matrix printers has remained somewhat steady
in the face of the growing popularity of thermal printers.
Besides costing less to operate, dot matrix printers offer some
features that are not available with thermal printers. Star
Micronics offers a wide variety of dot matrix printers to fit
nearly any application."
