I need a new printer for my Mac (Tiger X OS).

Since this is quite old, can you suggest what choices I have?

What do you need/want in a printer? Laser or ink jet? High capacity? High resolution? Color? Multifunction?

Once your answers lifeisabeach's question..take a look at the big brand names out there, Canon, HP, and so on and visit their site to find printers that match your requirement. Then go to the drivers section to see if you can find drivers specifically for OS X Tiger..

I'd venture to guess that a majority of our members are running Snow Leopard/Lion/Mountain Lion on here with only a small handful running Tiger, so you have to do some research too..:)

Not many. New printers that support Mac OS X are not going to have drivers for Tiger. Like you've been told, go to the various printer manufacturer web sites and check especially looking at the drivers supplied. Almost every new printer that I have recently purchased provided drivers for Snow Leopard and above.
