I am looking for a printer that uses plain paper (rolls) and comes in the form of an OEM module (I can't use thermal paper). Any suggestions for sources?
Thanks
Looking for plain printer OEM module

Practical Automation used to be a go-to source for embedded impact printers but it looks like they've moved to strictly thermal. However, there may still be a few of their older models on the surplus/hobby market if you only need small quantities. I picked up a DMTP-3 (7-pin impact, 2 1/4" paper roll) from All Electronics a while back. They're out of stock but the description is still on-line at

They do all sorts of printers, and one can buy the bare modules OEM. We use the SP300 9-pin 40 column dot-matrix printer mechanism.
