If the Extel does not have a ribbon...

Would old fashioned carbon paper, or carbonless form paper work
in the printer?  Those are still available.  A sandwich of two pieces
of paper with a carbon paper sheet between it would still print.

Yea, due to low demand carbon paper is no longer as cheap as 
it USED to be, but should at least be good for testing.

( I'm starting a separate thread on carbonless form options, 
for any ribbon-less printer. )
