[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1869677, member: 175845"] It seems like they don't make them as they used to. :Smirk: I still have a workable [B]HP 4ML Laserjet [/B]Mac serial printer that was released in May 1993 that I still use for some large B&W jobs, but I have to fire up an older Mac with OS 10.5.x installed as the printer needs [I]AppleTalk[/I] which apple removed in Snow Leopard, and an [I]AsanteTalk adapter[/I] looks after the Mac serial port that that model of printer needs and uses. So I guess I don't have too much room for complaint after 27 years of fairly faithful use. And the last toner cartridge I needed only cost me $50 several years ago, and it printed many pages and still has many more to go!!! None of the more recent inkjet printers I seem to have inherited have worked even a fraction of that time, but here's hoping the recommended Canon MX 922 Pixma printer I bought last year works better, and one of the reasons I purchased that model was because I had several sets of ink cartridges I had recently purchased for an earlier Canon Pixma that started printing goofy double lines, that used the same kind of ink cartridges. - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
