Harris had a line of Linotronic phototypesetters. They started with a 1970 prototype which required a magnetic tape prepared on a mailframe, and finished up as PostScript printers. Interestingly, the early ones at least were stroke devices, not pixel devices. They had a custom CRT the width of the paper but only one line high.
