If the complaint for NEC P8000 printer was a missing line across the printout, immediately we will suspect the printer head or the ribbon or even sometime the ribbon mask. Among so many brands of dot matrix printers, only this model has one common fault which is the printer head and the printer driver ic’s spoilt.
If you just replace the printer head without changing the main board or checking the printer driver ic for any short circuit, then chances are high that once you switch on the printer, the printer head would immediately breakdown again.
