Hey all, I'm a student in serious need of a new printer! unfortunately, my several year old Epson is slowly dying and can't put out a good print anymore it seems so I've begun my search.
I'm looking to get an HP, preferably multifunction, inkjet.Admittedly I really don't know much about printers but going from very general knowledge I'd like to try and get something that is capable of better-than-average prints and decent scanning. As far as scanning goes, I'd like a flatbed one but it would also be helpful if it had a paper feeder for copying. I'll be using a PC equipped w/ USB 2.0 so compatibility should not be an issue for me, however I also have a older G3 Mac equipped w/ parallel only that will also be using this printer so compatibility may be a problem there.
Would it be possible to buy a printer w/ networking capabilities and network it so that both of my computers would be able to use it regardless of parallel or USB interface? I'm running a very basic wired home network right now with a router sharing my cable connection between several devices, how could I network this printer w/ my Mac and PC?
Any printers you all can suggest that may fit my needs?
Please help! thanks!
