The 930 is either Centronics or USB. HP defaulted to the HPIB/GPIB
interface. There is a sub menu on most newer HP equipment to select the
output interface, but its been over five years since I've had anything
in front of me that had this feature. Play with all the menus, but
don't change anything you don't need to. Either that, or find one of
the old HP printers with the proper interface. I think it was a tiny
printer called a "Thinkjet".

Mike,
How you been doing ? Health ??
Good advice on finding an older plotter or the "thinkjet" /
"paintjet". The only problem is getting pens / cartridges as HP
obsoleted them. Finding a working plotter / printer from the mid
1980's time frame will be difficult too.
Another option is buy a Centronics to IEEE488 convertor from Black Box
Corp. The convertor would go between the 4194's IEEE bus and the
printers input cable.
Original poster should find out what interface his 960C uses and
contact Black Box Corp with his problem. All this information is close
to 10 years old. I don't know if Black Box makes these devices
anymore.
I used one of their devices to convert IEEE488 bus to RS-232. I was
programming some instruments years ago (HP Basic) and it was easier to
do it that way (versus using the PC's serial port and the IEEE488).
Good Luck, Kevin
