I think I still have one or two rolls of this 7/8 tape.  I will look when I get back to my home. We are in Indiana at the moment.

If you get hard pressed for 7/8 inch tape you can build yourself a tape slicer out of an old 16mm movie film editor and slice off the edge of one 
inch paper tape.  The same can be done for tape printers that use the narrow 3/8 and 5/16 wide tape by modifying a movie film editor and using 
1 inch, 7/8 inch, 1/2 inch or 13/16 inch wide paper tape.

I know several people have been successful with this approach...  However a delicate touch and patience are required.
