[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 985634"] I love HP hardware, but I'm less thrilled with their insistence on ignoring the built-in print engine and using their own convoluted and often buggy software. Still, maybe they've gotten their act together for Snow Leopard -- I wouldn't know. You might want to consider other brands like Canon and Epson as well. As for what printer, the first question I would ask is do you mean inkjet? All-in-One? Laser printer? Lexmark makes all three so that detail is important. My own personal experience has largely been with Epson inkjets (though my clients use a lot of different types of printers), and I've been very happy with them. I recently replaced my aging R200 (which was still working fine for a four-colour) with an R280 (six-colour) and both have been great for my (pretty occasional) use. No clogs, cheap replacement inks online, good utility for monitoring and cleaning, good quality each time. I've also noticed that clients seem very happy with Canon in the inkjet department, and HPs -- once they are finally setup correctly -- seem to be good too. I've only very rarely run across printers of any make that were flat-out unsupported in Mac OS X, particularly over the last few years that seems to be a non-issue at least on the consumer printer level, so you are free to pick from pretty much any of the name-brand models.
