What if you were to go to like Hobby Lobby or ...?? and find some leather strips or sheet and cut to width. I know they vary on thickness and texture, even a vinyl product maybe.

I tear apart dead electronic devices before I toss them out, to see what can be repurposed inside 'em as model car parts. I forget what kind of ink jet printer / pen plotter this particular one came out of, it's too big to be a toothed belt for 24th / 25th scale dragsters and likely too small for 1/8th scale.  But any kind of printer that has a moving printer head may have real rubber toothed belts or smooth v-groove ones that could be the right size. Companies probably sell replacement belts for such printers, too.
