But thank you for the link, it's a long time since I'd heard that.
I've just asked ChatGPT to find it but first it just gave me information about tractor feed printers. Then I asked if there was such a printer called Tiger; it then found the same Eye of the Tiger video!
ChatGPT is a bit like a literal minded child: you have to keep varying the question to get it to give the right answer. I at last remembered that it was called Paper Tiger (of course) and asked ChatGPT about that and it found it:
"Yes, there was a dot matrix printer named the Paper Tiger, produced by Integral Data Systems (IDS). Models like the IDS 440 and Paper Tiger 460 were designed for use with continuous fan-fold paper, utilizing a tractor-feed mechanism to handle such paper efficiently.

These printers were popular in the 1980s and 1990s, especially among users of systems like the Apple II series. They were known for their durability and compatibility with various computer systems of that era.
