Who invented the computer printer?

In 1938, Chester Carlson invented a dried printing method called electrophotography usually called Xerox, which became the base of laser printers' technology that followed.

The first laser printer called EARS, was developed at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center beginning with 1969 and finished in November, 1971. The Xerox' engineer, Gary Starkweather adapted the Xerox copying technology adding a and in this way he obtained the first laser printer. According to the Xerox declarations, "The Xerox 9700 Electronic Printing System, the first xerographic laser printer product, was released in 1977. The 9700, a direct descendant from the original PARC "EARS" printer which pioneered in laser scanning optics, character generation electronics, and page-formatting software, was the first product on the market to be enabled by PARC research."

In 1953, the first fast printer was made by Remington-Rand for being used by the Univac Computer.

Accordint to IBM, "the very first IBM 3800 was installed in the central accounting office at F. W. Woolworth’s North American data center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1976."The IBM 3800 Printing System was the first fastest laser printing system with more than 100 characters per second which combined the laser technology with the electrophotography .

In 1992, Hewlett-Packard went out on the market with the popular LaserJet4, the first laser printer with 600 x 600 dpi resolution.

The inkjet printer (with ink) was invented in 1976, but it was only in 1988 that the first ink printer accessible for the consumers appeared. Hewlett-Parkard produced the DeskJet inkjet printer,at a price of 1000 USD.
