I've got a venerable 2608a line printer attached to an HP1000.
It's got some kind of a parallel interface on it, labeled "26099-60002".
It looks Centronics-like (anyone know if it is?) on the printer
connector.

I'd like to move this printer to some other system if it's salvageable,
anybody got any ideas?  I have a vague recollection that at some
time in the past there were HPIB-compatible versions of this printer
around == there wouldn't be a conversion kit available, would there?

Thanks,
