Heh, that reminds me of the Typesetter we had in our graphic arts printing class in high school back in the early 1980's. It took 8", yes you read that right, 8" floppy disks. Then somehow (I don't remember the whole process) it put the characters on some type of chemical reactive paper. You could only store one page per disk as it inclused pica and kerning data as well as your text. Then you would photograph the result and burn plates for the offset presses to print. Compared to today's "click and print" it was like rubbing sticks together to create ham sandwhiches with a beer chaser.
