A structure having a shaft and a paper retaining roller mounted on the shaft for use in a printer. The structure further includes a retaining element mounted on the shaft so as to be opposed to the roller for retaining the roller in a given axial position on the shaft. The roller is rotatable about the shaft and has a flange at its one end. The retaining element has a plurality of resilient retaining arms and its one end to hold the flange rotatably. At the opposite end, the retaining element is also provided with a plurality of resilient arms which are in frictional engagement with the outer periphery of the shaft. The roller can be slid axially along the shaft when a force greater than a given magnitude is applied thereto.
