Not to mention the price of a ribbon versus that of a toner cartridge

Yes.. I'm a reseller for the three largest printer manufactures in the 
world,
so I have some knowledge in that area.

Your suggestion to kill a technology makes no sense, unless there is an
excellent business case for doing so.

Laser printers are quite expensive to operate and a basic dot matrix
printer(ie:Lexmark 2481) can operate for years with little more than
a ribbon change. You can't say the same for a laser.

The laser makes sense in certain situations, but to say that all dot
matrix printers should go away is simply silly.
