Several people have been asking about accessories for the AT&T 457 and
458 letter quality printers. I have found that these accessories
can be ordered from the AT&T National Parts Center at 1-800-222-PART.
They take plastic, or will accept certified checks or money orders.
I have posted this list previously, but the tractor feed, and single
sheet feeders are new additions with reduced prices.
As a side note, the printer is apparently identical to the
Hewlett-Packard 2603A printer, so it may be possible to order from
them as well. HP's prices are slightly higher, but you can order
single printwheels for $19.95.
