Applications
The Deskjet 970Cxi was HP's upper-tier consumer and small-office inkjet printer at the turn of the millennium, positioned in the Professional Series for users who needed higher-quality color output than entry-level Deskjets provided. It was commonly used for printing documents, photos, and presentations in home offices and small businesses. The dual Parallel/USB interface made it broadly compatible with the systems of its era — Windows 98/Me/2000 and Mac OS 9 machines with USB ports. Today units like this are sought by collectors of late-1990s computing hardware, users maintaining legacy parallel-port-only systems, or those needing a simple plug-and-print inkjet without modern cloud/wireless complexity. The HP 10/11 ink cartridge family is still available from third-party suppliers.
This HP Deskjet 970Cxi color inkjet printer (C6429A) has been inspected and is in used condition. The width adjust guide — the sliding component that holds media against the right wall of the input tray — is missing from the paper tray. No ink cartridges, printed documentation, or software are included; the printer ships with the power cord only. The exterior shows normal wear consistent with prior office use. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
