HP-75C and HP il printer Message #1 Posted by Michel Beaulieu on 16 Dec 2003, 8:44 p.m. I have a HP-75C and i would like to print on the HP-IL printer # 82162A (works great on my HP-41) I tried to send I/O command but i'm not sure of the syntax to use and i don't really understand the "assign" and "printer is" command that needs to be done (i think...) before printing. Thanks Michel

Re: HP-75C and HP il printer Message #2 Posted by Steven Kutoroff on 18 Dec 2003, 9:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Michel Beaulieu From my 75C manual, page 128. Command "assignio" will tell you how many devices are on the loop. This will respond with "Device # 1=': " with the cursor after the : You can enter pr for the printer. Command "list io" will show the devices assigned. I tried this on an HP-75D (nameplate shows AT&T) and it found the printer, but I couldn't get it to print. With my HP-75C and the Extended IO ROM, printing works great. If I figure it out later, I'll send more information. The Extended IO ROM should have been standard. It makes many things easier to deal with on the 75 series.
