Back when I was a kid, when line printers were line printers, they didn't print anything like boustrophedonically. They printed a whole line at once. They had 80 type wheels that lined up to the characters that were to be printed and then, Wham! they printed the whole line. Kids these days don't know what it was like back in the Golden Age.
