I got the 41cx for controlling equipment on the workbench and taking data. I had a test setup where I printed out test results in 80 columns on the Thinkjet. You can make a line as long as you want (even for a wide-carriage printer in compressed mode) by using functions like ACA (ACcumulate Alpha) and ACX (ACcumulate X) in the HPIL module. I also had the EXTended I/O module built into the HPIL module so as to save a port.
