The “PaintJet” is a 180 DPI, “PCL” language printer. Just like the “newer” DeskJets. If your unit has a parallel or serial interface, you can use any one of the older DeskJet printers (500/600 “C” series, DJ plus) – any that use the “PCL” language) or almost any laser printer (HPII compatible – B&W only). However, the newer printers are 300DPI printers, so the printouts will be 30-40% smaller. If it is a HPIB interface, look for a HPIB ThinkJet.
