If you are inventive you can use rollers from another printer. I rebuilt
the drive roller on my Data General 6311 cart tape drive with an output
roller from an Epson Action Printer 3250.
One trick I found usefule during this rebuild was a disposable ballpoint
pen. I used the cheapy kind that have a cap and a removable nose. First,
slide the roller on the pen's body without any lubricant. Then remove the
nose. Place the face of the barrel of the pen on the shaft and slide the
roller on. That simple. Do NOT use lubricants or glues. They are not
useful and will be messy.
