Canon and Apple printer comparison

I just found it interesting how the Canon BJ 100 that came with my Compaq 520, and the Apple StyleWriter 1200 make the same exact noises upon startup. It seems to me that Apple did a little bit of rebranding.

Ok; we see the black and white printers in this clip. But what about the apple COLOR stylewriter? Is any canon color buble jet printer around?

[smartalex61]

Nope, those are the only Apple and Canon inkjet printers that I have around.

[mattsprinter]

Hmmmm........it's just that apple did make a color stylewriter but I wonder if canon ever made a color buble jet. Not that you don't have one but I just wonder if they made one. It would be cool to know.

Canon did (and does) make color printers (the BJC series). Some later Apple StyleWriter printers were also rebranded Canon's, and some were rebranded HP's.

@ictdude1 I just figured out, a couple of days ago, that if the models were identical, certain parts can be interchanged between the Canon bubble jet and Apple stylewriter series.

apple got canon printers and put more ram in them so they would be faster

[ictdude1]

@mattsprinter yea there is all apple did was get canon printers put more ram in them and they printed faster

If I remember right, Apple did use Canon machinery for their printers.

[silentbutdeadly003]

they are communicating with each other in printer language lol

All older Apple inkjet printers had Canon mechanics, which is why they sound the same. The electronics were made by Apple though, which explains why they sound the same, yet some of them have sonsiderably fewer buttons and LEDs than their Canon counterparts. Here inA ustria Canon cartridges were much much cheaper (1/3 the price) of Apple cartridges, so we always used Canon.

Only the very last Color StyleWriters were rebranded HP.

canon had a color Bubble jet, I had one but it broke,

[mattsprinter]

Oh. Cool.
