When I watched this, I assumed they meant printing on the screens rather than audio.
But I would love to have a bunch of dot matrix printers all around the super futuristic ship printing out immutable action logs
Only if printing technology has changed by then. Otherwise you'd just be getting 100 notifications that your subscription to HP Ink has expired and it can't print until you renew...

Free refills!
Limit one per customer.
I imagine this not like a talking mug we might have today, with a battery and a prerecorded message, but instead an almost sentient creepy face like that bajorans treasure chest of horrors.
You mean Badgey the Mug?
... I want this now. So badly.
Dot matrix printers don't do that.
They totally would if HP still made them!
