[net.micro.hp] 82905b printer - hp to centronics interface

kjg@psuecl.BITNET (09/12/86)

     Does anyone know how to convert the hp interface or the 82905b printer to
work with the centronics interface.   I have an hp system, an apple, and a IBM
PC.  But the only printer I have access to is the 82905B.  My hp printer has
only the hp system interface.  There is a centronics connector on the back of
the printer but it is apparently not connected.  I would appreciate if anyone
could send me a schematic or solution to this problem.  I can handle any
modifications myself and the printer is no longer under warranty.

     Thanks

If you remove the HP-IB interface card from the printer, it will work
correctly with Centronics.
