Computer paper ye olde 132 column more or less

I was given a about 12" of ~132 printer paper to recycle, but thought I would offer it to anyone with the Okidata or Andersen-Jacobson printers. FREE.

Make sure you wait a while for a reply. The person using one of those printers will first need to connect their 1200 baud acoustic modem to dial into their BBS system on their IBM PC XT before they see your message. Be sure to crosspost this to comp.periphs.printers on usenet.

And, no, I'm not serious.

If you don't find anyone who can print on it, I work for the YMCA and we always need paper for our kids to color on, practice letters, make art projects, etc. We'd be glad to have it!

Lol, I might even have some of this equipment in a box somewhere...

Congratulations READER, you are today's top prize winner. Please PM me for details.

No thanks, I have an Okidata which can run this paper, and the original PC-2 (w/2 spares) runs my X10 lights, I need to remove the Christmas1992 lighting file tomorrow.
Back in the '90s I helped Jamie Rothstein decorate her Flower Show exhibit for a kid's room on the moon, now that is having too much ^&$@.
I could recreate a Circa 1989 Geek-Nerd basement exhibit, I have every piece of hardware you people mentioned. Not how many Centronix cables do you need, but which length up to 75'. Now those were drivers.
The scary part about that Okidata printer, I know I did not throw it out, but I don't know were it is.
