I've just written a small application (using wx.Python) that emulates an
HP82440B printer trough USB/COM connection (the USB connection need
libusb-win32 filter to be installed).
The printout (images and text) goes on an RTF widget with copy/paste
capable.
The application is still in 0.1 alpha release, I've tested with hp50g
trough USB and hp49g(-) via usb-serial adapter and everything seems to
be ok.
If there are some people interested in using and making some tests, I
can prepare an exe using py2exe.
A screenshot is available at:

I'm interested.
