CPI was an American manufacturer of printers.

In 1962, Holley Computer Products was formed as a joint venture between Control Data Corporation (CDC) and Holley Carburetor. Holley developed and produced a series of drum printers. In 1964, CDC bought controlling interest and partnered with NCR and ICL to form CPI. In 1978 CDC bought controlling interest of CPI. New lines of band and train printers were developed.

In 1982, CDC purchased Centronics. CPI was merged into the newly aquired business and the new company operated as Centronics. Trilog and Advanced Terminals Inc were purchased and merged into the Centronics.

In 1987 the Centronics business was sold to GENICOM.
