Origins of the HP printer brand
Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett founded Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 1939, developing a sound oscillator in a garage in Palo Alto, California. In 1966, the company, now based in Silicon Valley, manufactured its first personal computers, and in 1984, it led the development of personal laser printers with the introduction of the first LaserJet printer, followed by the first inkjet printer four years later.
3 types of printers
HP sells three “classes” of printers:
- Single-function laser printers: HP introduced the world's first LaserJet personal printer in 1984, and also its first color laser printer.
- Single-function inkjet printers: The company introduced optional color printing in 1991; color printing required the use of interchangeable black and tri-color (CMY) ink cartridges.
- Multifunctional machines (scanner, fax, and printer): HP introduced its first multifunctional device, based on printers, in 1997. A simple memory machine that functions as a scanner, copier, fax machine, and personal or network printer (wireless or wired).
