With certainty everyone had heard about the HP company, also known as Hewlett-Packard, or some other important names in the computer industry such as Sony, Samsung, Canon or Epson.




We may use some of their electronic products for our daily activities but it also happens that except their popular names and highly appreciated computer-related devices, we do not know much about them and some of us feel indifferent of learning some things about these manufacturers history.

But since our main interest in this article are the HP printers, of different types, all-in-ones, single-function laser jet and mostly single-function inkjet, I consider as highly important to start with a little history about how the HP manufacturer began its existence, becoming today one of the leading names in the technological and electronics industry.

The HP company had a modest start in the late 1930’s, established by two recent graduate students from engineering, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. Packard’s garage was the ideal place of turning their ideas into reality, with a modest capital investment of 538 US dollars and a lot of hope. Not only did they achieved an immense success and popularity but today Hewlett-Packard specializes in the manufacturing, the developing, the designing and the marketing of their products, especially the computer components and parts and related devices such as the scanners, printers or the all-in-ones, for specific tasks, software, hardware and data storage electronic devices.

Each one of their products has distinguishable features that make them different from all the other series and this applies also for the Hewlett-Packard inkjet or laser jet printers. On HP official internet homepage we can find all the available products for sale categorized depending on their usage and brand, or other main features, such as wireless or with wires, portable or with a wide format, etc.
