How do I change a printer ribbon? The printer I have is (according to what is written along the side) a Panasonic KX-P1123 24 Pin Multimode. It is a dot matrix job, probably older than I am and, until he died, my dad used to change the ribbon for me. Do I need a specific type of ribbon, what do I need to do (using words an idiot such as myself can understand) and how often does this eed doing?
Where can I buy a ribbon printer for personalizing ribbon? I've searched everywhere and found only two different kinds and they are in the $200 range and please don't tell me its too expensive and to just go on a site where they sell personalized ribbons because this is for a business and I don't need 1 roll with the same name over and over again

What should be the next steps in solving this printer problem? Instead of the document that was expected, a printer is printing unusual characters. What should be the next steps in solving this printer problem? Replace the print cartridge. If that fails to solve the problem, restart the printer and run diagnostics. Check the printer data cabling. If the cabling is secure on both ends, replace the print cartridge or ribbon. Send the print job again. If that fails to work, turn the printer off and back on, then resend the print job. If the problem still exists, reinstall or upgrade the print driver. Check the printer power. If the power is on, resend the print job. If the document still fails to print properly, check the printer to ensure it is set as the default printer and resend the document. Please Choose the correct answer
How to fix my Datacard Imagecard S2 AIT printer ribbon? I recently bought a Datacard Imagecard S2 (Select Class) card printer with AIT (Advanced Imaging Technology) and am having trouble getting the print ribbon to work correctly. I have contact my nearest Datacard dealer, and made sure I have bought all the necessary parts to keep the printer running, as well as the Full Color (4-Color YMCKT-KT) print ribbon which allows me to print on both sides of the card. I have two ideas of what the problem could be, but need a solution: 1)The SmartDriver printer toolbox doesn't allow me to change the print ribbon type to YMCKT-KT. It only allows me to select YMCKT, K, or KT. 2)I don't know how to install the printer ribbon correctly. I have no clue what order the colors of the print ribbon are supposed to go in (Clear, Black, Yellow, Red, and Blue) nor what color is supposed to be first when installing the print ribbon to the spindle. I have looked online and have found only text instructions for this answer, but they don't tell me what color I am supposed to start with, and no diagrams are given. If you have any expertise or experience with ID card printers, I would greatly appreciate some advice or answer. Thank you! I just don't know how to align the color panels on the panel. Where should the colors begin?
What is causing my printer to print text which is not sharp? Regular standard black text is printing out blurry/fuzzy, compared side by side to a good print from another source. Every cleaning service was used about a dozen times- align cartridges, clean cartridges, print test page etc.The cartridges were changed (with refills- may also be part of the problem, but the issue was before this change also.) Does this have anything to do with the ribbon? Need new cartridges? What will fix this problem? Thank you for any help!!!
How do I Unplug the printer and monitor on my Acer 3610? I managed to get the main panel off, and i can lift up the keyboard, but I can't get it unplugged (the ribbon) i tried tugging the ribbon a little but i didn't want to chance breaking anything. I also can't get the monitor off, I managed to unhook it, but there's a plug that connects it to the computer, and I can't unplug it. Again I tried gently pulling it, but I didn't want to pull too hard. Any Suggestions?
Is there any possible salvaging a printer from a yard sale? theres a white ribbon looking strip attached to ink cartridge base the other end of it is not attached and when i turn it on it seems to slide to hard into the ends of the printer what or where does the other end go its a lexmark print/trio X1150
how to operate this printer? my motherboard has no parallel port and only a serial port and usb connection? i want to operate a tvs dot matrix, ribbon ink printer in it due to low printing cost.but it has only a parallel data connection. but how to do it, do i must need a separate card for it or there is any adapter to convert serial to parallel or vise versa. which modification suits me and cost less.
how can i break my printer? I hate my printer! it prints things weird and the ink is so expensive. i want a new printer, but my parents won't get me a new one if it still works. so how do i break my printer so that it looks like it broke down itself? i thought about cutting the ribbon, but that could be replaced. :(
Would this ribbon work with my printer? I just bought this ribbon without checking specs, and I looked at pics and it is different than my ribbon(it is lighter and the strip that separates sections is black on my ribbon, and white on this one), I have a Datacard Imagecard Select(first version, regular) and it says it's for II, III, and IV in the specs. I was wondering if it will work with my printer, like will the sensor just detect that there is a short change in color compared to the actual color? If not is there any possibly way to make this work for my printer? I can't afford another ribbon at this time. http://cgi.ebay.com/Datacard-ImageCard-NEW-Color-ID-Ribbon-806124-102-/300396694025?pt=Printer_Accessories

What are super-thin ribbon cables referred to? I see these a lot when working inside CD drives, scanners and printers. They seem to be prevalent when there is going to be a lot of bending back and forth. They are a fraction of an inch thick, but can be any number of wire wide. What are these called, and where can I find a selection of breakout boards based on connectors for various types of these ribbons?
my print carriage is slamming hard against the opposide side of printer..never did that before? pror to this it was jamming and saying no connection. the printer wheel would just spin and then it would say it was jammed. I looked where you put the paper and there was a flat ribbon of plastic and only one end was connected to anything and one freefloating and not connected to anything.. I don't know if it has anything to do with the carriage slamming or if it is supposed to be connected at both ends..what could be wrong, expensive? Printer is dell 725 and less than 4 months old but I think not under warrenty so any advice would be appprecated.

When was the last time you used a typewriter? Yep, that now somewhat old fashioned metal box where you pressed on keys and tiny hammers would hit against an ink ribbon and leave characters on a piece of paper. (This also reminds me of something else I could ask, called a daisy wheel printer).
