Joe:
 
HP OEMs a Siemens printer and calls it the HP 5000 F100, Etc. line of
printers. A company called The Bradshaw Group
(http://www.bradshawgroup.com; 214-644-7558) can probably tell you if
your customer has this same printer or if this printer can be connected
to the HP system. My guess is that it can be connected to a 9000, but
not to a 3000. If so, consider purchasing a small 9K box and using
Quest's NBspool and related products to move files around. I'm not
plugging either company, BTW, I only know how hard it is to get stuff to
work together these days...
