hp71b printer? Message #1 Posted by dave on 25 May 1999, 12:35 a.m. Greetings to the hp faithfull. Just acquired an hp71b and would like to use a printer. The 71b came with a cable about 18 inches long that has a male and female end that appear to be like the ends of the hp-IL connections. Have an 82143A printer for the 41, any chance of connecting the two through use of?

Since you have the cable, you may have the interface, but it would pay to check for sure. Besides the 82162A, the HP-IL Thinkjet would also work, and probably be better, since it provides 80 columns of text. One cable won't be enough, though, so try to get a second cable when you buy a printer.
