Can all HP printer adapters be used on all HP printers?

I have only used HP printers, and over the years I’ve purchased several printers. I now have several adapters that came with my discarded printers. I wanted to know if I could keep the adapters and reuse them on another HP printer or just throw them away.

Answer by Denver Al
No, not all HP adapters are compatible with all other HP printers. There are a variety of “adapters” that can work in or with many different printers. Really need to know what adapters you are talking about and which printers you want to use them in, or with, to tell for sure. There are many different internal adapters and external adapters. If you have external adapters, then you have a much greater chance that they are compatible, but not a guarantee. Internal adapters are more restrictive of what printers they can work in. Some adapters are designed for certain printers or printer languages that other printers may not support.

Best of luck.

My dad just bought a new hp printer and ink, then hooked it up and found out that it doesn’t work with windows millenium. He doesn’t want anyother brand, and I really dought that he will want to spend 100 bucks to upgrade to XP. The printer needs to be under 100 dollars or maybe 110 at the most. Thanks for any help
