I have no idea what sort of effort it would take to do so, much less how
usable the dumps would be.
That being said, I can see some value in a virtual JetDirect.

I've got a NEC board here with 8 x 27C010 1megabit EPROMs which AFAIK is

My workhorse printer is an HP 5Si/MX. I use it mostly for music and
schematics, since it will do up to double-sided 11x17. You can still find NIB
toner cartridges on Epay, as well as fusers and other parts. It's a beast.

My LaserJet 6MP is still going strong and is my main lab printer. I like it for
retro work because it has AppleTalk capability. I plugged my Mac SE into the
network and it automagically found it! Meanwhile Windows still doesn’t know
it’s there unless you put its nose right on it ;-)

I may still have a II, and I definitely still have at least one
(functional) III and a 4Si
I still use my 4M/L all the time - Postscript + Loca

Maybe an emulator for Xerox's XGP could be piggybacked onto that. The
"firmware" is PDP-11 or PDP-6 code from MIT and SAIL. It could be used
to print classical memos written in PUB, TeX, TJ6, Scribe, Bolio,

The early ones are in a HP product display.It is good to have them
represented. We do need paper trays for our first HP 2686AHelp? Thanks Ed

At least here in Brazil you can find supplies for HP II and III printers.
Probably for IIp and IIIp...
