Hi Jim & Tracy, Hmm.... I looked into this a while back... as our 2563B is scheduled to go off maintenance and our Epson DFX-5000 printers died (Thank God!!! hehehe) I ended up buying the LPQ 1200 (Forget the HP number ... starts with a 'C'? hehe) and it uses the spool type of ribbon....works pretty good and I get the "reloaded" ribbons for about $8 from a local supplier up here in the Northwest... :) Art "hmmm.... now who ever heard of "Coho" Winds???? hehehe" Bahrs >>> Tracy Johnson <[log in to unmask]> 12/01/97 10:49pm >>> Therm-O-Link wrote: > > So, I have two questions: > > 1) Is there a replacement printer for the 2934A (we use four of these and > they are real work horses)? Answer to Question #1 only: I've seen lately a new HP (label) printer that uses two large reel-to-reel spools of ribbon, like an old fashioned teletype or typewriter. They're about an 1.5 inches or 2 inches wide. I've also seen some (shudder) IBM brands that use this scheme. I'll get the model number tomorrow if I get a reply to this. -- Tracy Johnson Computer Associates International Inc.
