Uses for Older HP Inkjet Printers?
Posted by: dcr on 2015-09-04 11:46:00 At the office, we have a few older HP inkjet printers that were taken out of service and replaced by newer models. They were taken out of service because they stopped working for one reason or another. If I remember right, usually they had printing issues. Three are USB; two just print and the other has a scanner. There may be some pre-USB models floating around somewhere too. My thought was to just strip them down for parts like USB cable, power cord, motors, gears, assorted electronics and whatnot and just get rid of the rest. But, before I do that, does anyone know of any uses for older inkjet printers? If they were Apple models, I'd look at possibly restoring them but HP, well, meh.
