The 2608A employs an essentially unique command set under HP's old AMIGO
protocol.  It is not just a question of a spooler model script.  You'd need
a new second-level HP-IB printer driver, and none ever existed for the 2608A
on any HP-UX system, including 1983-vintage Series 200 and 500.

Sorry,                                                Hewlett-Packard
