WHAT IS PRINTER?

  A computer printer, or more commonly a printer, produces
 a hard copy (permanent human-readable text and/or
 graphics) of documents stored in electronic form, usually on
 physical print media such as paper or transparencies. Many
 printers are primarily used as computer peripherals, and are
 attached by a printer cable to a computer which serves as a
 document source. Other printers, commonly known as
 network printers, have built-in network interfaces (typically
 wireless or Ethernet), and can serve as a hardcopy device
 for any user on the network.

HISTORY OF COMPUTER PRINTERS

   In 1953, the first high-speed printer was
    developed by Remington-Rand for use on
    the Univac computer.


   In 1938, Chester Carlson invented a dry
    printing process called electrophotography
    commonly called a Xerox, the foundation
    technology for laser printers to come.

TYPES OF PRINTERS
     daisy-wheel: Similar to a ball-head typewriter, this type of printer has a
    plastic or metal wheel on which the shape of each character stands out in
    relief. A hammer presses the wheel against a ribbon, which in turn makes
    an ink stain in the shape of the character on the paper.Daisy-wheel printers
    produce letter-quality print but cannot print graphics.
     dot-matrix: Creates characters by striking pins against an ink ribbon.
    Each pin makes a dot, and combinations of dots form characters and
    illustrations.
     ink-jet: Sprays ink at a sheet of paper. Ink-jet printers produce high-
    quality text and graphics.
     laser: Uses the same technology as copy machines. Laser printers
    produce very high quality text and graphics.
     LCD& LED : Similar to a laser printer, but uses liquid crystals or light-
    emitting diodes rather than a laser to produce an image on the drum.
     line printer: Contains a chain of characters or pins that print an entire line
    at one time. Line printers are very fast, but produce low-quality print.
     thermal printer: An inexpensive printer that works by pushing heated
    pins against heat-sensitive paper. Thermal printers are widely used in
    calculators and fax machines.

THE LASTEST ADVANCEMENTS

   Canon
    Inkjet Printers: During an experiment at Canon in the mid-1970s, a soldering iron came
    into contact with the needle of a syringe filled with ink, causing ink to suddenly spurt
    out. Canon's unique Bubble Jet printing technology was born out of that unexpected
    incident, and the company's first Bubble Jet printer was commercialized in 1985.
    Ongoing R&D has led to further advancements, making possible the outstanding image
    quality, high print speeds and exceptional usability realized by Canon inkjet printers
    today
      Large-Format Inkjet Printers: Striving for larger, more true-to-life imaging
    performance, Canon meets customer demand with large-format printers incorporating
    1-inch-wide print heads based on FINE print head technology. Canon's high-density,
    high-resolution print head ensures unrivaled image quality and print speeds for
    applications in a diverse range of areas, including graphic art, photography, office
    documents, posters, and CAD.
