The LA180 receive-only printer was, I think, a derivative of the
LA36, not the LA120.   The 1976 Peripheral handbook seems to support
that.   Note that there also was an LA35, a receive-only variant of
the LA36.   The difference is that the LA35 had a serial interface
while the LA180 had a parallel (line printer style) interface.

  The LA180 has more in common with the LA120 than the LA36.   There is
also a serially-interfaced variant of the LA180, which has a
serial-to-parallel (*NOT* "Centronics" parallel, for others reading
this) converter board mounted internally.
