Almost. The PIL-Box can have a device or controller on either side.

So, it appears that the least expensive option for me so far is to purchase the HP-IL Module from 360-Tech for $69, and use that to attach to my PIL-Box and pyILPER on my Mac. I should be able to print to the pyILPER printer screen and cut and paste the text from there.

Unless I want to take a risk on a $25 2225A from TAS...
