I have an HP DeskWriter on my StarMax. It is ancient in computer terms, I think we got it in 1992. It was originally on my LCII and I switched it to the SM. It has been a workhorse, but it's finally having some problems; it doesn't feed sheets correctly, the rollers don't pick up the paper. I've cleaned it and fiddled some, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm bummed, it's been such a great printer. Black ink only, of course. I don't know how long the DeskWriter line continued, how new a one could be found.
I think you can get parallel to serial adapter cables. In fact, my printer may have one, it may have been boxed for a PC. The HP website used to have free downloadable driver files, I haven't been to check recently, though I should since I have a HP 660C in the basement someone gave me that wants a power supply.
