[I don't know the address for info-printers, and I figure info-micro will
get me through to a very diverse collection of people.]

I've got a friend who has a CPT 8100 word processing system with a CPT
Rotary VIII printer.  The back plate of the printer says it's really a
Ricoh model RP1600.  My friend wants to buy some print wheels, but the
only CPT dealer in town wants $45/wheel.  Ridiculous!  I located a CPT
supply house at the other end of the state who is willing to part with
them for $31/wheel.  Better, but still ridiculous.  Does anybody have
a contact (or know somebody (like a user of CPT equipment) who has a
contact) who my friend could get a better price from?  Does anyone know
why the wheels are so expensive?  (I'm pretty sure they're plastic, but
even if they're metal -- Geez!)  Does anyone know if this printer is
compatible with some name brand like Qume or Diablo?  Any help/pointers
*greatly* appreciated.  Thanks!

P.S.  Anybody know the address for info-printers?
