Can anyone determine the printer model?

It's an AEG Olympia NP 80-24 (more video here: https://vimeo.com/57960146)

So they're driving the motors and pins using custom equipment; it would be more impressive to pull this off through the existing data interface.

Looks like Okidata Microline printer to me, not sure of the exact model, they don't show enough of it.

The printer ribbon says 7753 which is an epson model.
