I'm looking for information on the original Canon engine (is it SX or
CX?), i.e. the one in the HP LaserJet/LaserJet+ or the Apple Laserwriter.
Specifically I would like documentation on the interface to the engine
itself, including connector pinout, timing, and programming information.
I have the HP service manual but it's not real helpful.  What I want to
do is some hardware hacking on the printer.

If anyone has this information or a source please send me mail; the usenet
address tektronix!fpssun!lfm is probably most reliable.  Also you can call
me at (503)245-3271.

I'm also interested in any information on the LaserJet print controller,
especially the font cartridge 50-pin pinout.

I'll also buy a used LaserJet+ or Laserwriter1 interface board if you have or
know of one for sale.

Thanks a bunch!
Larry Meadows
