Panasonic HHC question

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. If
not, please direct me elsewhere.

Is there anyone out there that is familiar with the little
Panasonic Hand Held Computer (RL-H1000 series) that
came out in the early eighties? More specifically, can it
be adapted to use some type of conventional printer to
bypass the little thermal printer (RL-P1004A) that was
designed for it?

There seems to be a surprising number of these computers
still in use out there in many two-way radio shops. The HHC
was the heart of GE's 'suitcase programmer' for setting the
frequencies in their early models of synthesized radios.

The print heads in these printers fail, so you can't get a
printout of the frequency information that has been read
from the radio or going to be written into the radio. It does
not make the programmer useless, but it would be handy
to be able to get hard copies again.

Thanks for any help!
