For HPIB you might try to look for the HP ThinkJet,
it's available with
a HPIB interface too. It's a simple inkjet, with a quality comparable to
a 9 pin dot matrix printer. They are no longer made, of course, to you
should look for it the at the usual places for old hardware (including
EBay, where you also can get the ink for more reasonable (just paid $20
for 8 ink cartridges - the regular price seems to be around $ 20-25
for a single one) prices).
Nice little printer....very compact too. It was my first
exposure to inkjet printers. It was available with a number of
different interfaces, including parallel and HPIB. I think it was
also available with a serial interface as well. Wasn't there a
version that was battery powered? I often wish I still had one.
