Today, we will take a look at the SM6337.02 – a vintage Soviet dot matrix printer made in Russia in the late 1980s. In my life, I've seen a lot of computers and devices manufactured in the USSR, but this one features an unbelievably low quality level. Technically, it is an Epson-compatible peripheral device with RS-232 and Centronics interfaces, and it comes with a few built-in fonts. However, from what I see, it is unlikely that it was functional even when it just came out of the factory. Even more bizarre it becomes when we take a short look at its military/KGB counterpart.
