    Thanks for any and all assistance.

    The Twin Writer was the printer I got when my just-started small
    business purchased its first computer equipment in 1986. Like most
    two-in-one combo products, it was a real dog.

    I ended up using two different ribbon cartridges-- the expensive single
    pass carbon film for final client docs...and a cloth one that looped
    around over and over for internal office draft printing.

    My advice? Deep-six it-- or sell it to a collector. Then buy a new
    printer-- they're dirt-cheap...
