For HPIB you might try to look for the HP ThinkJet, it's available with
a HPIB interface too. It's a simple inkjet, with a quality comparable to
a 9 pin dot matrix printer. They are no longer made, of course, to you
should look for it the at the usual places for old hardware (including
EBay, where you also can get the ink for more reasonable (just paid $20
for 8 ink cartridges - the regular price seems to be around $ 20-25
for a single one) prices).
