Since the protocol is SIR and not IrDA you cannot use the IR sensors available on some PCs.

I remember I saw on eBay, some 15-20 years ago, a kludge to connect on the serial port of a PC that permitted to receive SIR data from HP calculators: there were several offered, but they always went for too much to justify the use I could have had for them.

thank you Massimo, I knew that the problem is with SIR (not IRDA), I didn't knew about those kludges.
What a pity! So at the moment it is easier to print on a Mac from the 41c or 71c than from a more recent calculators...
Anyway, let's hope
