Pv/1ably yes, any HP emulating laser printer should work. However, a word of warning about printer emulations. In the dot matrix world, when a printer claims to Epson compatible it is. In the laser world, HP compatibility ranges from "fully HP compatible, uses same font cartridges, toner carts, etc." to "well, we can use the same commands" or "gee, we use soft fonts just like the HP". While I know nothing about that TI printer, I still can only recommend two laser printer brands for TRUE HP compatibility, and one of them is HP! The other is Star Micronics. I've tested both of these and the Star is almost 100% parts interchangable with the HP IIP and is 100% language and command compatible. Remember, if someone is going to make something for laser printers (font cartridges etc.) they will do it for the HP first.
