Be careful -- computer tractor-feed paper is plentiful in 9.5-inch width, and you rip off the two 0.5-inch tractor edges and are left with 8.5-inches. Used it for years with dot-matrix printers like my old favorite IBM ProPrinter back in the 80s.
TTY tractor paper is 8.5" wide TOTAL, so the computer stuff won't work. I also have a tractor-feed 33, and years ago found a source of 8.5" wide (fan-fold) tractor paper that would work, but they wanted a min purchase of a big case and I gave up (as my roll-feed 33 fills my need). I may be able to dig the reference out of my old info if you are interested.
Just don't buy stuff that won't fit.

Although I have yet to get my ASR33 to print any characters sent from the computer, I was wondering if anyone knows of any supply of tractor feed paper for it, preferably in the UK?
Thanks
Rob
