[I don't know the address for info-printers, and I figure info-micro will
get me through to a very diverse collection of people.]
I've got a friend who has a CPT 8100 word processing system with a CPT
Rotary VIII printer. The back plate of the printer says it's really a
Ricoh model RP1600. My friend wants to buy some print wheels, but the
only CPT dealer in town wants $45/wheel. Ridiculous! I located a CPT
supply house at the other end of the state who is willing to part with
them for $31/wheel. Better, but still ridiculous. Does anybody have
a contact (or know somebody (like a user of CPT equipment) who has a
contact) who my friend could get a better price from? Does anyone know
why the wheels are so expensive? (I'm pretty sure they're plastic, but
even if they're metal -- Geez!) Does anyone know if this printer is
compatible with some name brand like Qume or Diablo? Any help/pointers
*greatly* appreciated. Thanks!
