[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] ??? Security device to lock-in HPLJII Font cartridges ???

Hi!

I have some HP Laser Jet II's in public labs.  I just bought a postscript
cartridge that goes in the font cart. slot.  I'm afraid it will walk if
I just leave it there.  Anyone solved this?

Thanks!

Superglue! Heheh.. maybe someone could build a box
that covers the cartridge? Or a tab with a hole that 
padlocks? Or a cable through a hole in the cartridge..
though no cable is going to stop your common bicycle 
thief with bolt cutters..

See an INMAC catalog.  They have just what you want.  Make sure you get
the correct model.  We ordered one for our LJIII Postscript cart and the
person ordering it got the one for a LJII.  Sent it back to get
replacement.  In the meantime the Postscript cart was stolen ;-(((.
