Printer Advice
Just replaced my old MacPro with a new 15" MacPro. Now, my very old Canon printer is not working so well with the new Mac. Actually, it was on it's last leg. Anyway, I want to buy a new Mac friendly ...

HP has been the best at providing printer drivers for Mac computers. I stopped using inkjet printers as they are too expensive overall. I use a HP Laserjet Pro 200 color printer for the black and white and color printing. For "pictures" I use the HP brochure paper. For a picture that is going to be framed I send the file to either Costco for printing (takes one hour to have it available to pickup and you can designate which store) or with larger prints than 11x14 I use WHCC.com. WHCC will also mat the prints which protects them for shipment and makes it easy to take them to a framing store or to frame them myself.
Inkjets need to be used frequently or the ink in the head nozzles dries up and then it is time to buy a new cartridge even though a lot of ink remains in the one with the bad nozzles. It costs me $1.00 for each piece of HP or Epson inkjet photo paper and for that same $1.00 I can get a photo print made at Costco that is going to last longer.
No costly ink and no printer needed and no restrictions on how big a print I can make. With WHCC I can upload a file on Sunday and on Monday it ships out to me or can be drop shipped to anywhere in the world. It makes my life a lot simpler.
