[GreenKeys] hooking an inkjet printer into a model 28 teletype

[Henry Minsky]

There's something I'm interested in doing, but I'm not sure if there's any 
good way,
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a modern inkjet printer into 
a teletype, so that
you can print both teletype and graphics onto the same page. The idea would 
be to take a compact portable inkjet, take it out of its case, and mount 
somewhere in the paper feed, either before or after the teletype printer 
has printed,  and somehow hook the linefeed mechanism so that it feeds the 
paper when the inkjet printer has pushed out a few lines of paper.

The driver software would be tricky though, probably have to write it from 
scratch and
I'm not sure that any of the inkjet printers have openly documented control 
codes to allow you to control precisely when it stops and starts printing.

Why you ask? I don't know. I just thought it would be cool to print the 
newswire photos along with the AP news feed, or MIME attachments along with 
my email, or satellite weather charts along with the weather report. I 
don't want to harm the model 28 mechanism in any way, but anyway just some 
food for thought.
