[QUOTE="mangoSharingan, post: 57567"] Hi, I'm going to get an Apple iBook soon for Christmas (yay!) and I originally was planning to get the Epson C46 printer as it only costs about £40 here in the UK. I have an old Epson Stylus 460 which I have had for 4 years and it is still working fine on my other PC (Windows). However, I want one to always be ready for my main system, which will be the iBook and from the screenshots I have seen, the iBook doesn't have a parallel port. So I'm looking for a cheap replacement USB printer and not looking to spend more than £45-50. I have always been a fan of Epson due to the fact that you can buy cheap compatible cartridges for it. I only need a printer for printing out uni slides and coursework so I don't really need all that high-resolution photo stuff. So, does anyone know if the Epson C46 will work with my iBook straight away when I plug in my USB and if not, how easy/hard is it to find and install the drivers? If 'no' to these 2 questions, then what other printers would you suggest? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
