I wonder if rolls for a Sinclair ZX Printer (maybe sold by Timex in the USA) could be cut down to size, as they might be easier to find.

I wonder if you ever found these rolls?

The site for the link above does not have them anymore, nor I found on eBay.

Looks like the only way to buy them is to purchase one Fp-10 new, that comes with one roll.

I didn't bother going down the Sinclair ZX Printer route.

I have 10 rolls of paper (2 boxes of 5, one roll partially used) for a Boots PD-525 calculator (probably a rebadged Sharp or something) that came with a Casio HR-10 from eBay.

I also have 4 rolls (from a box of 5) of Sharp EA-22R paper from a seller who was retiring from running a stationary shop. These rolls look like they fit the Casio spark printers OK as they are the same outside dimensions but have a slightly larger diameter spool hole in the middle.

Bonus: I found a short video of the Casio HR-10 printing calculator with a close-up of the spark printing in action:
