I just checked out the newly-remodeled Salvation Army
Thrift Store and
found a nice piece: a new-in-the-box Hewlett-Packard Thinkjet model 2225B
equiped with HP-IL interface. All accessories are there, plastic wrap
still over the machine, battery pack there too. $15 sounded fair enough I
think. I should go back more often. They usually had ancient PeeCee junk in
real tough shape for way too much $$$ whenever I was there before. But now
with the remodel, a new manager and finding this gem maybe I'll keep
checking more often. Besides, they're only about 150 meters from our house:)
This is great as I already have a couple of HP 75's to use it with. Or it
could be used on a PC as I've got an HP-IL-to-HPIB converter and a PC
IEEE488 card.
Anybody have experience with using normal xerographic copy paper instead of
the HP-specified Thinkjet paper? If so, how are the results?
I used to use it in a QuietJet printer - same cartridge. Worked fine!

They also had an Epson CX-20 handset coupler for $5
new in the box (plastic
wrap still on the device). Anybody want it for the cost plus shipping? Let
me know ASAP!
