Printing terminals tend to sit on ebay for a long

are the portable thermal printing variety. When thermal fax machines
finally become obsolete, it will become very difficult to obtain paper
for those terminals as well. Right now you can use the fax machine
thermal paper rolls for those printing terminals, but there will come
a time when they're not making that paper even for fax machines.
I don't know about elsewhere, but in the UK it seems that the vast
majority of supermarket and similar receipt printers are thermal, so I
suspect that the paper itself will be manufactured for a good number
of years yet, even if finding the right roll size becomes harder. .
