I took a look at TAS, and yessiree, there are GPIB printers available, mostly HP ThinkJet 2225As, and, of course their prices start at $100 and go up from there. I'm not sure I want to spend that kind of money for something that I don't know if it even works, nor if I can get supplies for it. You are correct it is designed to drive HPIB devices from USB and they don't normally work the other way around, however I don't have any experience with this particular USB->IEEE488/GPIB/HPIB device. My setup for printing from 86B is I have a National Instruments GPIB-> Serial adapter, they work very well as they support Xon-Xoff protocol which makes it easy to drive serial printers. I also picked up a Quadram MicrofazerII which supports serial or parallel input and out, switch selectable from the front panel I use it to drive one of my 2671G thermal printers. I have a 2671G with HPIB interface, if you are interested send me an email. Paul. |
