Do you mean the 8023P printer? I have that printe, but I can't find
the documentation right now.

As I recall, Commodore didn't implement the full IEEE-488 protocol. They
did not allow for more than one controller to be on the bus, and the
peripherals could not initiate a session, but could only respond to one.
This made interfacing to IEEE-488 interfaces on HP instruments a little
touchy.
