1. Are there any modern printers that are compatible, or do I need a genuine HP printer?
2. If I need a genuine HP printer, which model number? I notice that there are two HP thermal printers, one ending in -A and the other -B. Is one the HP-IL and the other the IR printer?
3. Do the printers degrade with time like card readers do, or is an old printer likely to work?
4. Do they use a standard size thermal printer paper roll which is still available?

Thanks!

There's an ad in the SwissMicros forum that shows one but the company doesn't sell to individuals so you'd have to find a vendor.
