Due to a very tight turnaround schedule on the first HP Laser Jet, HP elected to use the controller already developed by Canon for the CX engine in the first HP Laser Jet.[2] The first HP Laser Jet and the first Apple Laser Writer used the same print engine, the Canon CX engine.[3] HP chose to use their in-house developed Printer Command Language ( PCL) as opposed to Apple, which adopted the Post Script language, as developed by Adobe Systems. The use of a less-ambitious and simpler Page Description Language allowed HP to deliver its Laser Jet to the market about a year before Apple's CX based product, and for 00 less.[2] The sharing of an identical Canon engine in two competing products continued with the HP Laser Jet II/ III and the Apple Laser Writer II, which both used the Canon LBP- SX print engine. History[edit] 1980s[edit] HP introduced the first laser printer for IBM compatible personal computers in May 1984 at the Computer Dealers' Exhibition ( COMDEX). It was a 300-dpi, 8 ppm printer that sold for ,495 with the price reduced to ,995 in September 1985,[2] and featured an 8 MHz Motorola 68000 processor and could print in a variety of character.
