I just bought one from a guy on Ebay and it was apparently old stock
because it's not any better than the original one. I know that this is
an old printer but is it possible to find replacements for these that
are "fresh" anymore? Thanks, Lenny

I once found a dot matrix printer that was worth keeping for some reason,
maybe it had a serial port or maybe it wsa the 24pin printer, but when I
went looking for a ribbon cartridge, no luck.

I picked one about the right size, and transplanted the ribbone from one
to the old cartridge. And that worked, but it wsa messy, keeping things
lined up properly. They weren't on a roll, the ribbon was just filling
the space in the plastic cartridge.
