hp drives yes... data printer no... correct name is data products and a neat printer if you were just printing the first 20 col zone I remember something about this model banging it out at 800 or 1000 lpm at full 80 col it was 300 LPM ( This was the first formal sale our computer company had was to sell a used one of these to a consultant / programmer that did stuff on apple II systems ... I t had one bad hammer coil and he moved it to col. 80 and swapped the good one into the mid field he used the thing for years... we were to later have one of these that came in with a HP 2000 system and it served us well until replaced by a 600 LPM Data Products line printer as we wanted to print wider than 80 col. OK another odd thing - note tapes but lack of tape drives. If only we could see what was in the rest of the room!

Can't tell about the systems, but they appear to have what look like analog meters on the panels, which is interesting.
