Hate to sound like i know more about printers than a fnboy, but i do. Since i have a lifetime of experience using windows, i'd say i'm in a pretty good position to judge the inferiority of mac printing software and drivers compared to windows. The problem is two fold, the ignorant masses love for inkjet which has pushed tech in that direction instead of superior laser printer improvements and apple not willing to support printers even 5 years old. Not looking for an antique, just looking not to spend more on a printer than I did on my mac to have quality laser monochrome images. Again, one aspect of mac that apple deserves major ridicule over. And, not to beet a dead a horse, but i specifically asked for those with experience with monochrome printers compatible with mac that could print clear monochrome images. Thus far, a single person has yet to step forward and claim that such a machine exists beyond top shelf price points. A bit disappointed. Apple needs to work on this problem. Beating a dead horse twice, my question has been answered.
