I'd like to print from HP-42s or HP-41CX or DM 42 or HP-50g, not only in a HP 82240B, but in a PC or Macbook via something like a sort of infrared receiver and a program, to have Postcript prints (like with PILbox and Pyilper)...

Ideas?
Has anyone tried with an IR?

It would be too easy...
Since the protocol is Red-Eye or SIR and not IrDA you cannot use the IR sensors available on some PCs.

I remember I saw on eBay, some 15-20 years ago, a kludge to connect on the serial port of a PC that permitted to receive IR data from HP calculators: there were several offered, but they always went for too much to justify the use I could have had for them.
