Applications
The Epson Stylus Color II was released in 1994 and was among the first consumer inkjet printers to deliver 720 dpi color output at an accessible price point, making it a landmark product in the mid-1990s color printing market. It connects via a parallel (Centronics) port, the standard PC printer interface of the DOS and early Windows era, and is compatible with Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and DOS-based systems with a parallel port. Today these printers are sought by collectors of 1990s computing hardware, by hobbyists maintaining period-correct vintage PC setups, and occasionally by users of legacy parallel-port workflows. Drivers and documentation are available through Epson's archived support resources. A parallel-to-USB adapter can allow connection to modern systems, though driver support on current operating systems is limited.
This Epson Stylus Color II (P880A) inkjet printer was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. It has been visually inspected and photographed; the unit appears to be in good cosmetic condition with the light yellowing typical of beige plastics from this era. Both paper trays are present and intact, and the power cord is included. The rear Centronics parallel port and surrounding panel show no visible damage. Ink cartridges are not included. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
