I have an IBM 4072 (re-badged Canon 330) Execjet printer which
has been running with no problems since January 1991 and I always
refill with Thermis Jet-Ink refills.

Does anyone know where I can get the little sponge that fits in
the purge unit as mine has finally disintegrated?  The advice
from IBM (Lexmark) was that they are not sold as separate items
but you get one if you buy a complete print assembly... not really
what I wanted to hear. They also said that this printer will work
fine without a sponge in but I find it seems to affect print quality.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a suitable replacement?
