Panasonic HHC question

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. If not, please direct me elsewhere. Is there anyone out there that is familiar with the little Panasonic Hand Held Computer (RL-H1000 series) that came out in the early eighties? More specifically, can it be adapted to use some type of conventional printer to bypass the little thermal printer (RL-P1004A) that was designed for it? There seems to be a surprising number of these computers still in use out there in many two-way radio shops. The HHC was the heart of GE's 'suitcase programmer' for setting the frequencies in their early models of synthesized radios. The print heads in these printers fail, so you can't get a printout of the frequency information that has been read not make the programmer useless, but it would be handy to be able to get hard copies again. Thanks for any help! - David -
