Hmm... this may be a good deal, but...

My question:  did you buy the Atari 1027 Letter Quality Printer?  If so,
this is a printer that Atari started making about 5 or more years ago
(before Tramiel bought the company) and no longer supports.  (As far
as I know.)  If it isn't the 1027 model, which model is it?  I haven't
heard of any new Atari printers (aside from the XMM801/SMM801 dot matrix
printers and the in/famous Atari Laser Printer) since all the hype about
three years ago.

Good luck on finding supplies though;  I think a couple of places that
might be able to help you out are B & C Computervisions in San Francisco
and a place called American TV (I think ... I don't have my Antic or
Analog magazines in front of me...)  Both of these have advertised parts
and things for older Atari components, they should be able to help you
out.
