HP LaserJet History Preserved in Boise Showcase Look around your country. There are Art Museums, Steam Engine Museums, Pinball Museums, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of other specialized and general purpose museums around the world. And now there is a LaserJet History Showcase (Museum) in Boise, ID, the birthplace of Hewlett-Packard's enormously successful line of large and small LaserJet printing products. Located at the HP Boise site, near its company cafeteria, the Showcase is the result of the efforts of one man. Jim Hall credits Von Hansen for this glamorous presentation of all of those paradigm-shifting personal printers. Von was one of the original EPOC (Electrophotographic-Printer-On-Computer) engineers, and father of PCL (printer command language). Von was manager of many successful LaserJet product designs and is currently an HP VP. At HPMemory.org, we have a dream that there should also be a Measurement Instrument Museum , to preserve the creative precision instruments of the middle of the 20 th Century. In those middle decades of the Golden Years of High-Tech the measurement instruments in many cases preceded the scientific breakthroughs across a broad spectrum of specialties. They paved the way to the moon, they produced communications revolutions, they improved medical technology, they lay the groundwork for the semiconductor industry and the computer and printing sectors. There is hardly a venture of the human race that wasn't improved by the instrument engineers and creative research geniuses of so many measurement companies. We have acquired a vast warehouse full of vintage HP instrumentation. And, frankly, we are looking for encouragement to make this resource into some sort of preservation of all of those ideas and hardware embodiments of the restless brain. If you have similar visions, please contact us.
