Who cares.
It's not like you're capable of ever going to do anything with them
At least here in Brazil you can find supplies for HP II and III printers.
Probably for IIp and IIIp...

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

Yup. I started saving Laserwriter bits when their was originally
some interest in emulation a few years ago.

I don't know about collect but I have a soft spot for early LaserJets

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,

I may still have a II, and I definitely still have at least one

For the intellectual challenge, and to play with the Postscript interpreter.

Not really. MAME is a great tool for experimenting with the firmware from
old micropr
Pretty sure it's not a SA-800 problem, that was just something we tried in the
course of running out of other ideas. These controllers are meant to talk to
SA-460 or Tandon TM100-4 96tpi 300 RPM drives ("quad density").
I did of course force head loading on drive select, which does make the SA-8

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 ;-)

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.
