Well, I bought the printer for the HP-28C, the HP82240A.  It is compact,
lightweight, but has some drawbacks.  One is it produces a lot of noise,
sort of a mini-dinosaur-- not the type of thing one wants to use in the
library.  Also, it has strange battery requirements: as the battery
wears down, it will print slower.  With an AC adapter, you can set a
flag in the `28C, and the thing cranks, but draws power from the batteries
to do so.  All in all, though, it is a nice little printer.  I hope
someone in Corvallis gets the idea to make a module for the `41 to
run the thing.  That would be great.
