Nope, but sounds logical.  The Durango uses an 18" wide HP ribbon cartridge
with the 3/4" ribbon in it, driven via a cable and a unidirectional clutch
through the carriage motor.  The ribbon spans the entire page, but is
slanted, so the entire surface is used while printing.   There's no 2-color
ribbon facility as there is on the daisywheels.

Cheers,
Chuck
