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.

Hi Paul,

Thanks very much for your thoughts and advice. I'll take a look at the equipment you mention as I move on with my research.
