Still have my LQ 100 in my parents attic, perhaps I could do something like this. Sadly I don't have the paper feeder (I only used A4 paper with it).

I pulled a couple out of my pile a few years ago to look at. The rubbers were pretty well gone on mine, belts gone, the rails had some sort of blooming corrosion.

unless you've got very lucky it's probably a real refurbishment job to make one run today. Quick look suggest Epson 9pin and 24pin form feed impact printers are still being made.
