HP 41/42 IR Printers

[rprosperi]

1. None known, though a company reportedly still sells a compatible model (same guts, new pkg) for some vertical application, but these are much more expensive than used HP ones, which work fine.

2. HP-82240A or -82240B. Both are fully compatible, IR-only and will work with all 3 SM top-tier models. The differences are minor; as you'd expect the B is newer and slightly preferred if and A and B cost the same, but both are fine.

3. These do not seem to have the same problems, I don't recall ever hearing of one failing like the 97 and other 41/71/75 printers do, but of course, that's only true so far. Used ones are extremely likely to work fine.

4. Yes, you can find standard paper for these at places like Staples, still being made for cash registers, etc.
