Ribbon is a feature that replaces the traditional file menu, the Ribbon dynamically changes based on what the user is currently doing. The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups, which are collected together under tabs.

A ribbon cable is any flat cable where the wires are laid out in a single row. They were mainly used for connecting older printers, older hard drives, and floppy drives.

If you actually mean just a ribbon, then it would be what a dot matrix printer uses to carry the ink to the paper. The print head strikes the ribbon to form characters, dots, and/or lines.
