I created this Raspi printserver HP MIO slot card for my old Designjet 750c 
to substitute the RJ45 printserver with a wireless option

power comes from the internal MIO connector 5V pins 
data connection is done via USB to parallel cable

I think the RPi3 internal wifi will not work well inside the printers metal case

better use external USB wifi to get the antenna outside of the case

you will need 

  • to salvage (cut) the 48pin connector from the old print server card
  • 2x 2.8x5 self tapping screws for mounting the connector
  • 4x 2.8x9.5 self tapping screws for mounting the rpi
  • RPi 2 or 3
  • USB wifi dongle 
  • USB to parallel cable
     

using PLA gives more rigidity for plugging the card into the slot

you will do this modification at your own risk!

have fun!
