I just went for a walk and found a discarded computer system. The computer
case had been broken open and little was left unscavenged. In addition to
the computer and monitor, there was a HP LaserJet 4, and I decided to give
the printer a home. It has no cables and I have no idea at the moment whether
it works. Unlike the hp 4110 all-in-one, the HP LaserJet 4 *is* known to
printtool on my RH 7.1 Linux PC. So, trying to get it to work is a possibility,
if I can get the cables and maybe replacement cartridges or whatever, which
might add up to a significant amount of capital that I'd rather spend on
other things, especially since I don't know if the thing works in the first
place. Better to stick to looking for stepper motors and other useful
subsystems.


What cables? My HP LaserJet 4 uses a standard Centronics interface,
and a common IEC power cord so I have over a hundred of each on hand.
These old printers are workhorses, but you don't want to leave them on
all the time. I have a half dozen laser printers that I haven't even
fired up, and won't, till I run out of toner on the pair of old IBM 4019
printers that I'm using.
