Hardware Description

The DeskJet 500 was HP's third generation 300 dpi inkjet printer. It had the same form factor as the previous DeskJets, but with an enhanced feature set. The DeskJet 500 included two font cartridge slots (similar in concept to the font cartridge slots on the LaserJets). Cartridges could be inserted to add additional fonts or to provide emulation for Epson FX-80 or IBM Proprinters.
