Hi
I've seen these come up about once every month
or so in eBay. I bought a duplexer for my 3si and
an envelope feeder, on eBay. You just need to keep a search
going, every few days. I'm sure you'll find one.
I'd originally bought a parallel/serial card when
I bought mine, surplus, because of the same problem.
At the time, I bought it from a printer repair store.
It cost almost $200. Later ( about 2 years ) the card
failed. I located one on eBay for about $25, I was
back on the air.

I have asked in the past about a replacement card for my HP LJ-IIID
with little success (they are apparently somewhat rare). Several
people offered me ones that did not physically fit. Well now, I
have a *newer* old HP printer, an HP LJ-IIISi that takes the square
interface cards with the white/grey 3-row connector. Unfortunately,
the printer I got from OSU surplus (which seems to print just fine)
only has this truely ancient C2059A integral print server - no serial
or parallel, Novell only. :-( Worse, the firmware is particularly
obsolete and deprecated by HP.
So... if anyone has a spare interface card, I'm interested. Two, in
fact; one for me and one for a friend who needs to hook another IIISi
to his OS X Mac. The printer is on-topic (mine was manufactured in 1991)
at least.
Let me know cost/part numbers/etc off-list.
Thanks,
