Since the shift to USB printers and the rapid flush-out of serial printers from the retail system, we have a growing problem with finding printers for 68k and non-PCI Macs. As printers contain a lot of moving parts, they're likely to be the first components to fail. IMHO, the quickest way to kill off all those older Macs, irrespective to their use-by date still being in the dim distant future, will be that if you can't print any of your output, they're dog-tucker.
Anyway, I've got two Stylewriter 1200s here, both in perfect nick EXCEPT that the rubber bands that feed the paper forward have lost their stickiness. They go through the feeding action, but the paper just sits there. If I grab the first piece of paper and manual push it at the appropriate moment, it reluctantly moves down, settling down when the front roller gets a grip on it. Has anyone figured out a method for restoring the grip of the two bands and the O ring on the feed shaft? I've tried lightly sanding with emery paper but no luck. ~Ian O -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
