Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. I can't say details because I am just beginning to arrange an opportunity for us. First I wanted to make sure we can uphold our end of the deal (printing some text...) before I said yes to the other party. The museum collection has several suitable printers and plenty of 14" greenbar. But most of the printers are in unknown condition and I wouldn't necessarily know how to use them. I will share details when possible. Probably not for a while. On Mar 8, 2018 9:29 AM, "Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic" < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Warehouse: I may have them and stop calling me Shirley.
What are you doing with Warehouses? ;-)
Not sure IXR has any spare laptops (Dna Jacobs might) but I would expect a USB RS232 dongle would work fine. I'm not exactly sure what we're printing with. Is this simply a dump of a file to the printer via RS232?
