You don't even need any special interface:

My colleague Steve Dirickson proved several years ago that
the HP-IB card straight out of our old 957 would run just fine
in our 959KS/200...  been in the 959 ever since (although we
almost never print to our HP-IB LP anymore;  we have ~40
laserjets scattered all around).  Never had a problem printing
to the HP-IB 2564B LP for anything we wanted to do....


DISCLAIMERS / CAUTIONS:

Not supported by HP.

Certain SYSDIAG utilities will crash the system if you run
them on an HP-IB interface card in a 9X9 box.

Line printer may work fine, but I wouldn't depend on being
able to connect and successfully run any discs on HP-IB...
