Description
HP C2080-80001 LaserJet 4 4M 4Plus PostScript Level 2 Printer SIMM Module Rev B
The HP C2080-80001 is a PostScript Level 2 SIMM module designed to add native PostScript language interpretation to HP LaserJet 4 series laser printers. By installing this SIMM, the printer gains the ability to process PostScript print jobs directly in hardware, eliminating the need for host-based PostScript emulation software and significantly improving print quality and compatibility with PostScript-based workflows. The board is marked Rev B and carries HP branding on the PCB.

Applications
The HP LaserJet 4 series, introduced in the early 1990s, was among HP's most successful and long-lived laser printer lines, widely used in corporate offices, print shops, and technical environments. PostScript Level 2 capability was essential for desktop publishing, graphic design, and print production workflows of that era, since many professional applications — including early versions of Adobe PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and similar tools — output PostScript directly. Installing a PostScript SIMM allowed a base LaserJet 4 (PCL-only) to handle PostScript documents natively without a separate RIP or software driver workaround. Today, LaserJet 4 series printers remain in use in legacy environments and among vintage computing enthusiasts, and functional PostScript SIMMs for these printers are increasingly hard to find as original stock runs out.
This HP C2080-80001 LaserJet 4 Series PostScript Level 2 SIMM module is in good used condition. The PCB is clean with no visible damage, cracked traces, or missing components. Normal handling wear is present on the edge connector. This module was pulled from a working environment and has been visually inspected. Please note the part number printed on the PCB (C2080-80001 REV B) differs from the part numbers shown in the original listing name and description — buyers should verify compatibility with their specific printer model before purchasing.
