Third party 82240B like printer seen at HHC 2023

That one looks a lot like the shape of the 82240. I wonder what’s inside? HP really pushed for third party adoption of the 82240 as an instrumentation/diagnostics printer, and had some success doing so. I wonder if they also may have OEMed the mechanism? Or maybe that’s a line printer mech, and they just echoed the HP styling cues to make customers comfortable.

The 82240’s moving print head is pretty reliable and battery efficient, but kinda slow and noisy. Modern line printer mechanisms are a lot nicer for daily use.
