I just got my MBP last week and everything working great, but I had problems with my printer. I have an older HP deskjet 812 that works fine with the windows computers.
I plugged it into the mac, created a word document, and hit print. It looked like it stretched each row of letters past their normal height, then cut off the top and bottom of each row - leaving just the middle.
I created and printed another document just to see if it was how I formatted the first, and got the same result. I then printed a test page to check that out, and the test page printed fine. When I hooked the printer back up to the windows computer it worked fine as well.
I've always heard how Macs work with everything, so I'm a little disappointed that it's not working right. Is there something I need to do?
