Need a part for an old Centronics Printer - CZ3A2 - H07

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

These are ancients are were purchaced way back in 80's I believe. The
only information I have is on the back of the printers:

Centronics
Band Printer
Equipment # CZ3A2
Series: H07
Part # 59833208

On both printers the ribbon rollers' rubber eroded and will no longer
pull the ribbon through. Any idea if parts are even available
anymore, and if so where.

Another option is to use carbon paper (got about 20 boxes of it free)
and use the carbon printout, but would need to override the ribbon
sensor. Is that possible? Of course that would be the short term
solution as when the carbon (green bar) paper runs out, back to being
down and out.

The third option is of course new band (line) printers. What's out on
the market. 600 LPM's will suffuce, although the centronics may be
800 LPM???

TIA.
