Thanks a lot for the replies and help. I understand now that i goto
buy some HPIB to parallel converter to interface the printer. Since
the HP4194A is already obsolete and i got pretty old one still
working, i do not want to spend another thousand dollars buying the
converter. I would like to use the I/O 8bit port available at the back
of 4194A to interface with printer. Do you think its possible. the
manual just mentions that this I/O can be used to interface the
peripherals. If anyone has done this before, it would be wonderful if
you can let me know how. Thanks to all.

The Black Box converters were about $200 (US). I don't think the I/O
port will plot / print the screen. I calibrate the 4194's at my job,
they are very reliable.
