What printer for an iMac OS 9

External Since: Sep 22, 2004 Posts: 1

I have recently bought a used iMac with OS 9 and need a basic printer
for everyday use, without too many bugs. The staff at the computer
stores drool in puddles on the floor when I bring up Macintosh
computers. Can anyone recommend a printer?

Thanks in advance.

I use an Epson C84, and it's a darned fine basic printer.

I use it with 2 iMacs, each on OS9, a G4 Mac on OS 10, and a WinXP box.
The drivers for all of them work very well, no problems. The iMacs use
Epson's AppleTalk drivers (I use the ones that create desktop printers).

I went ahead and networked this C84 using Epson's very fine and capable
pocket print server. It's very, very nice having access to this printer
from all platforms simultaneously.
