I am interested in hooking up an HP Thinkjet printer to the auxiliary  
serial port on a Teletype 5420 terminal, having heard that this printer 
may be purchased with a serial interface.  The Thinkjet product literature,
however, describes three interfaces:

	1)	Centronics parallel (standard IBM-PC --> printer)
	2)	HP-IB               (HP's version of IEEE 488)
and
	3)	HP-IL ??

Is HP-IL HP's way of saying serial RS232-C or does this printer not 
support such an interface?  If anyone has experience or information on 
this subject, please respond via phone or mail.

		Thank you,
