Sure.

A friend of mine wrote a printer driver 20 years ago which used only  
the "dot" character (with 1 pixel high lines) to print images on a  
typewriter (Triumph-Adler Gabriele) with a typewheel.

Of course, those typewheels (and color ribbons) lasted only a few  
pictures before the dot became unreadable, but it worked...
