-- Posted by TechnoShark at 10:36 am on Sep. 19, 2008 I have a Macbook with Mac OS X, v.10.5.4 I need a small, cheap printer. I only need it to print essays - not pictures or images or scan stuff or anything. And can easily be hooked up or disconnected without much trouble. Which would be the best brand/printer for this? -- Posted by marshmellowman at 10:39 am on Sep. 19, 2008 I'm getting a cheap HP Deskjet, I think it's supposed to be the D1460 for something like £25 so $50USD for Uni. My sister has one and it's small, cheap, prints well and work instantly. Oh, and she has OS X and I do to and I didn't have a problem setting hers up and getting it working. -- Posted by kslice24 at 10:44 am on Sep. 19, 2008 i got the canon one... but it came with my macbook.
