ANY canon.

I really like my HP inkjet. The 960. I don't think they make it anymore, but it works very well with all versions of 10.2. I think all the HP printers work well with wireless printing via Aiport. Mine is hooked up via USB to my Base Station and is very reliable. Prints excellent photos and text and is very quiet.

HP's have terrible drivers.

I second that! Buy a canon! For 150 bucks you'll get a great one that will do Photos very nicely too.

Love my Canon i850 .... quiet, smooth, and looks cool!

Pas des problemos.

My epson sucks more than anything and I say this after years of having some great printers from them. I have the stylus photo 820 btw, so avoid it or find me the magical drivers and special ink I seem to be missing.

Just replaced my Epson Photo 820 (it had issues) with a Canon i850 which is the best printer I've ever had. Love it!

Footy: I'm seeing it for 94 dollars, not bad, it looks big though in the picture I'm looking at. How big is it really? Does it work well with Mac OS X (I'm still on 10.2.4) and M$ Word etc.? Thanks for the reply.

All the canons work perfectly with even 10.3.

I love Canon printers, they are the best. I just got myself a i960, best printer I've ever own.

You'll find the demintions on this page. http://www.usa.canon.com/html/conCpr...;section=10213

It's not any bigger than any printer I've had.

Worked just fine in my last few OSX systems and fine in Panther as well. If you want a pic I'll post one for ya.

Have you seen any of the accessories for the Canon i960? (e.g., duplexer, extra paper tray, ...) Any idea where to find the accessories?
