OK it appears that the ribbons were NOT dried but had broke with age, and were not allowing the ribbon to advance causing the issue. I got some aftermarket ones and it works good, attached you will find a picture of the inside of Apple Ribbon (I have 3 that are like that, so maybe its common).

Also attached the serial number of the printer. Didn't see a date on it anywhere.

Printer working like brand new with new Ribbon!!
