Mac Printer Reviews

You'll find that many of today's printers, which utilize USB,
will let you print from a Mac, you have to be sure drivers are
included with the printer which were written specifically for a
Mac.

Hewlett Packard PSC 2410 Photosmart

I've included an all-in-one that will work with either the Mac
or a PC. It's a higher end model, and costs accordingly at
around $300. You'll get laser quality text and very high quality
color. I prefer a flatbed for scanning, which it has. Another
nice touch is you can fax in color. That won't do you any good
though if you're faxing to a B & W fax machine. This is a nice
home-office solution for most any Mac user.

Epson Photo R800

This puppy can whip out a high quality 5" x 7" photo in about 45
seconds. For the speed freak, you'll also get USB 2.0 and
FireWire ®. True borderless printing at up to 8" x 10". Like
some of the other Epson printers, it adds the ability to print
to a CD/DVD. The 8 color ink method will give you some very
vivid, high quality prints that it claims will last 100 years.
None of the photos it has printed are that old yet, so who
knows? You'll pay for all these snazzy features though, between
$325 and $400. I confess though, a lot of Mac users do photo
work, and I'd lean towards this printer if that were my
situation.

Lexmark Z816

Here's a printer you can pickup for your Mac that is less then
$100. It works with OS X, like most others. It has pretty good
speed and quality. They tout the Accu-Feed assembly virtually
eliminates paper jams, which are normally pretty frequent with
this type of paper feed setup. I've never been fond of this type
of setup though, but if you're budget minded and just need to
print occasional letters and photos for the family, it'll do.
