Do publishing companies still accept typewritten manuscripts?

Some do, some don't. Each company has its own submission guidelines and many still accept typewritten manuscripts, since some writers are still resisting the digital age. But most publishers won't accept any unsolicited manuscripts, so those are returned unopened. They're wary of being sued if they happen to publish something similar to a rejected manuscript, so they generally only open packages that come from literary agents with whom they have a working relationship.Do publishing companies still accept typewritten manuscripts?
The ones who still accept snail mail subs don't care if it's typewritten or a computer printout, as long as it's black ink on white paper and a clean copy.
