Xerox - The laser printer was invented in 1969 by Xerox researcher Gary Starkweather

Time: 1969

Place: U.S.

Details: The laser printer was invented in 1969 by Xerox researcher Gary Starkweather by modifying a Xerox 7000 copier. Xerox management was afraid the product version of Starkweather's invention, which became the 9700, would negatively impact their copier business so the innovation sat in limbo until IBM launched the 3800 laser printer in 1976.
