Hello,
Mike K. here. I've decided to switch from a PC to
an Apple eMac. Pardon my ignorance, but will I still
be able to use my HP printer & scanner with the eMac?
Thanks, MK
Michael K.

if i remember correctly there were some problems with HP printers on OS.X 10.3, although my LaserJet4 is doing great. your best bet is to check apple.com and lookup the compatibility list.

alternatively you could bring your printer & scanner to the store and make them try it out for you ;-) before you buy...

If your printers and scanners are USB (or have USB plugs for being used on USB) then they will work fine.

There are 3 ways to verify:

1. check apple's site
2. google "printer model" "mac os x" (in that order and WITH those quotation marks).
3. Check the manufacturer's website for drivers for OS X.
