Also, anyone out there have a DeskJet 500 Manual?

Operator's and/or Service?

Wow ! Someone else who still has & uses a Deskjet 500. I've had
mine
from new just as they came out. Must be getting on for 25 years or
so now.

So can you tell me how your printer compares to mine, a DeskJet 932C?
I have the sneaking suspicion that mine is not as good, but really
have no idea.


Its practically the same printer ! But the 500 only has a single black
(colour, if you change the ink) cartridge. The 932C I think has USB as
well as parallel port inputs. As far as print quality is concerned
yours should be better having 600 dpi as against 300 dpi for the DJ500
plus colour. The DJ500C could do colour but you had to change
cartridges. I belive it was the DJ520 that had both black and colour
cartridges in the same carriage.
The DJ500 also had an RS232 serial port as well. Very handy when
attached to a "Netware PS" !
