The "HP-BOISE" on one of the chips, as mentioned in the article, jogged my memory. I always wondered by the PJL command to get into service mode contained "HPBOISEID".
Turns out HP does (or did-- it's unclear to me) printer development in Boise, ID. Guess I never though to search-engine that. I was seeing it as some kind of typical HP acronym (EIO, MIO, etc). It was clearly an HP "BOISE" identification. Never thought about it just being the city.
