 directly address an arbitrary HPIB device, only something set to

 I think you're right,

 The bad news is that there's no way to set the 82169 to work like this. 
 You might be able to configure it as a listener using another controller, 
 and then get the 'scope to send data to it (without it being unlistened), 
 but don't ask me how to do that. And that would require you to find 
 another HPIB controller. 
  Ahh well.  Thanks for the suggestions, though.  The lucky thing is, I
found my HPIB ThinkJet.  I thought it was up in Maryland in storage,
but it's actually here at my new place.  So I'm happily printing IR
LED drive waveforms for the guy up in Maryland who's working on the
driver circuitry for my new work project but can't afford a real
scope. :-)
