I’m switching over to an iMac 24” next week. Redoing my entire home office including getting the Airport Extreme router.
Since I’m already spending way too much money I’m also going to buy a new printer. Pardon my ignorance but here goes: Are there printers that are Mac specific or do most printers work on either Mac or Windows platform?
I’ve always owned HP printers and have never been disappointed. My printing needs are as follows: Spreadsheet and Word type docs for my job as well as sales flyers (not in bulk just to present to the sales manager). My daughter has a PC laptop and needs to print out schoolwork and stuff wirelessly.
Here is a list of the printers I’m looking at along with a link and a little hype from HP.
Any feedback would be appreciated as well as any traps or unknowns that a newbie might need to be aware of. Thanks in advance for your input.
