HP were among the first companies to produce mass-market laser- and inkjet-printers - both in c.1984[2].

In 1997, HP introduced the Photosmart system - a combination of digital camera, scanner for existing photos and negatives and photo printer. The firmware of the early HP camera models was based on the Digita operating system.
