Applications
The HP 2300 series was a line of high-speed line matrix (band) printers introduced by Hewlett-Packard in the 1980s and 1990s, designed for high-volume data center and enterprise printing environments. At 840 lines per minute, these printers were used for large batch output jobs — accounting reports, mainframe listings, ERP system output, and similar continuous-form print runs — in corporate data centers, government installations, and industrial facilities. They connected to host systems via the HP-IB (IEEE-488) bus, which was HP's standard instrument and peripheral interface of that era. Units like this were often paired with HP minicomputers and workstations running HP-UX or MPE. Today, surviving examples are primarily of interest for parts salvage, restoration, or as collectible legacy hardware from the HP minicomputer era.
This HP Hewlett-Packard C2354A 2300 Line Printer is being sold as-is for parts or repair. It has known issues: the unit prints approximately 6 lines and then stops with a paper jam error, and the Line Feed button is broken. The front display panel is missing entirely. There may be additional faults we are not aware of. No ribbon, media, or consumables are included. The cabinet and mechanical components appear intact and may yield useful parts.
