    No guessing is necessary, A9M0303 indicates an ImageWriter I.
It is second printer Apple produced that used a C-Itoh printing
mechanism, and for that reason, can make use of the same ribbon
cartidges used by the Apple DMP and ImageWriter II. I believe it
is the regular version incidentally, not the wide-carriage.

    It'll work on any computer that has a serial port, you just
need the right cable. I have one sitting in my closet if anyone
is looking for one (I hardly even use my ImageWriter II's these
days). :)
