If the printer you have is the NeXT 400 dpi unit (I don't
have the model number in front of me) then I picked up
several from the gentleman who was selling them cheap in the
Bay Area. If you need one for spares or as a replacement
I'll be happy to sell it for what I paid for it ($15) plus
shipping. The ones I have are in excellent (untested) shape
with some looking almost new. . .
Just email me off list if you're interested.
