[Posted both in HPPER/LaserJet and AmigaUser/DTP] A fellow member of my Amiga user group recently bought a used HP LaserJet (not II, III, +, or anything, just LaserJet) from someone who had bought it at an auction. It came without manuals or anything. It appears to have a serial interface and seems to be clean, well-cared for, and when turned on, nothing bad seems to happen. He wants to try to use it with his Amiga 2000, and any information about it would be useful. Specifically: * will he be able to get a User Manual for it? * if it is in fact a serial interface, is it a standard RS232C? * are toner, cartridges, etc. for it still widely available? * will it work with Workbench's HPLaserJet driver? and so forth. So far he hasn't even tried to hook it up or print a test sheet. He didn't have it at the meeting, so I have no idea of the serial # or anything like that, but I could get it if it is needed. Thanks in advance from both Ken and me. *B^)
