Early printers came in two forms: with keyboards and without keyboards.  In fact, some early printer lines used the exact same printing mechanism, with some models having additional features such as keyboards and/or paper tape punches/readers.  The ASR33 teletype was one of these printer lines.  With an associated keyboard, the printers could be used as [[terminals]].  This practice continued for many years for cheaper printers, including the Digital Equipment Corporation LA line.  The DECWriter II (model LA36) was one of the most popular printing terminals to supplant the teletype.

Teletypes operated at 110 baud (about 11 characters per second), whereas the newer dot-matrix printers achieved 1200 baud (about 120 characters per second).  Later printer speeds where measured in lines per minute or pages per minute.
