Why do airlines still use dot matrix printers at the gate?

As I sit here listening to the dot matrix pounding away at gate A2 in STL this question crossed my mind. Surely there's a reason the airlines haven't moved to compact laser jet printers for printouts at the gate...is is just because the pages stay connected without a staple?
