The printer mentioned is made by Shinwa of Japan their model CPA-80
and as mentioned in the article is differentiated from the older CP-80
by the switch panel on the right side.  The spec sheet speed of the
CPA-80 is 100cps vs 80cps for the CP-80.

This printer is distributed by several sources in the US.  I even
went into K-Mart one time and found the CP-80 mechanism inside the
skin of an Atari or Commadore (I don't remember which).  K-Mart thus
may be a good source of ribbon cartridges.
