She gave it to me years later. I never realized that there was a printer to it. If I remember correctly, the programs were running quite slow.

Hi, Thomas,
Thanks for your input.

Datamath.org is one of my preferred information sources. So much information available for free! We have to thank Joerg Woerner for that.

The printer is one item that I'm planing to acquire one of these days, depending on the opportunities and available funds

Slow it is. The upside is that the battery cells apparently last for ages.
The previous owner never replaced the batteries and he did use it for a few years in the university.
When I took them out the weaker one had around 1.35Volt (nominal 1.5V), and the calculator seems to be working fine with them.
