Yes, I will definitely need to step down the  voltage.  That's not too 
difficult to do.  The bigger problem is  that our mains power here is 50Hz.  If 
the tape printer has a synchronous  motor, I will either need a 50Hz gear 
set (presumably unobtainable!), or  reduce the baud rate to 5/6 of 45.4 baud.  
The other option is to power  it through an inverter, to achieve  110v/60hz.
