If kept in its original packaging, a printer ribbon should be good for at least 12 months. Check the box for the manufacturer's expiration date. Once the ribbon is unwrapped and installed, it will dry up within 3-6 months, so check the ribbons specifications for the average page yield and choose a ribbon based on your average printing needs for that period.

Several types of printers used an ink or carbon ribbon in the way you described. The daisy wheel printer and ball printer would spin a wheel that has the printable characters, then the wheel would strike the ribbon, leaving an imprint on the paper. The dot matrix printer used a number of pins that struck the ribbon to generate a printable character. The chain printer had several full sets of all printable characters on a long chain, and the chain spun rapidly on a track. As the appropriate printable character arrived at the proper location, a high speed solenoid driven hammer struck the chain, causing the ribbon to leave an imprint on the paper.

It all depends on two things: how much printing takes place, and whether the ink on the ribbon dries out quickly. When printing, the inked ribbon moves slowly along so the printing pins hit fresh ink as much as possible. When the ribbon reaches the end, a lever is (usually) moved over to make the ribbon return back the other way. Eventually, after many passes, the ink will fade and the ribbon will need to be replaced. Or, in an over warm office, for example, the ink may eventually dry and not produce a good print, even if the printer is little used.
