Sorry, don't know anywhere that sells those 1520 pens.
For what it's worth, here's a list of printers that (supposedly) use the same pens (and maybe paper):
Sharp CE-150, CE-515P, CE-516P, CE-1600P
Tandy/Radio Shack CGP-115
Texas Instruments HX-1000 (used on their CC-40 pocket computer)
Mattel Aquarius Plotter (Model #4615)
Atari 1020
Oric MCP-40
You'll probably have better luck finding ribbon cartridges for the MPS-803, they are compatible with the following:
Brother M1009, M1109, M1209, M1224
Centronics 3101, 3102
The Brother 9010 ribbon cartridge is used for these printers, it should work with the MPS-803, and I think a few places sell them. 
As for floppy discs, you can use any 5.25" double density discs either single or double sided. DO NOT use high density discs.
Your best bet is to look on Ebay for them. Although they are supposedly still manufactured (by Imation), I've yet to find anywhere that sells them.
