The slot in the printer is for the interface for a POstscript printer.
HP distributes what is called the Jetscript kit for the HP Laserjet II
Printer. It consists of an interface board for the printer, a Postscript
interpreter board for the PC, and the cable which connects them. Also
included is an installation manual and driver software for a PC-compatible.
Call your local HP sales office for more info. I have one, and it works
just fine.
