In the basement: The HP ThinkJet 2225A - the first ink jet printer? (Patreon)

Hello my patrons! I was given this printer yesterday. I normally shy away from printers because they are big and of limited usefulness, but I couldn't resist this 1984 HP ThinkJet printer. As far as I can tell, this was the first commercial ink jet printer, at least according to some sources. 

It seems that it requires special paper -- although Marc's video doesn't mention that. 

I have no idea if this printer even works, but I do have a GPIB interface on my Windows XP box, so perhaps I can see if it wants to try to work. (The ink will surely be dried up.)
