Not great. There's too much behind the scenes going on to make it anything you'd use outside of Dev or testing.
It's not apples to apples.
-
@Obsolesce takes forever to install, too.

@Obsolesce it has the uptime command, but because of some screwiness, it reports the time that the shell has been running and does not report the kernel run time. So the info from it is bad. In this day and age to have utilities report things like uptime wrong is pretty bad.

You get a new printer...
Even I don't know if that's more of a joke, serious recommendation, or both.
I don't think there is any special command. No printout = serial port settings are probably wrong. Does the printer react at all when you try to send it a print job?

Well, neither do I. It's not exactly common knowledge, so ask the person? I'd hope they have documentation online on what to do, because I don't think you can just pipe text into a printer.
