HP DeskJet 932c Inkjet Printer
Filed in Hp Deskjet Video on ก.ย..20, 2010
One of the first color inkjet printers ever made! This Hewlett Packard DeskJet 932c from 2000 still works flawlessly to this day and is built like a tank! The best part is that the ink cartridges are huge compared to modern HP ink cartridges!

@ictdude1 This light is used for the print head alignment.

btw, why not just refill the cartridges? you can do that almost infinite amount of times, and it’s significantly cheaper than buying factory ones.

@Lachlant1984 The blue light is so the printer knows if the heads are aligned correctly. The iMac is a 400 MHz PowerPC G3 with 512MB of RAM. It is the later model with the slot-loading DVD-ROM drive.

I still see printers like that being used because like you said, “They’re built like tanks”! I have a HP Deskjet 890c and an 895cxi, and those worked the last time I used them which was over a year ago! So those would need new cartridges by now!
One of these days I’ll get new cartridges in them and I’ll make videos of them so you can see how well those perform.
I love the size of the cartridges they made back then compared to the small ones used in printers now.

@bbishoppcm I believe this was also one of the first HP DeskJets to be a “dumb” printer with no internal memory, relying entirely on Windows or Mac software to print. Thus they could not be used directly from DOS anymore.

Nice video, but this is definitely not one of the first “color inkjet” printers ever made. I bought one of these new in 2000, and yes, it was one of HP’s last “well built” printers. The carts are huge, however, they run down quickly, due to the high waste printer engine. HP’s first color inkjet came out in 1987 and was branded “PaintJet.” The first inkjet printers were the ThinkJet series, and were very small and reliable. This is one of the first that could be considered “photo quality” though

I wonder if that blue light allows the printer to determine if the ink cartridges and heads are alligned correctly. What kind of iMac is that?
