HP-97 printer circuit board Message #1 Posted by Erik Wahlin on 8 Sept 2001, 1:45 a.m. It seems there are two different printer circuit boards used on HP-97 printers. I think there are two different boards because HP changed the HP-97 CPU board later in production. Does anybody know a way to make an older printer board work with a newer CPU board? I hope this question makes sense to someone. Thanks.

I just tried it and could swap printers from an old machine and a new machine (the one with the pads for the 97S I/O pod) without any problem.
