PGHammer Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Since early 2005, I have owned a single USB inkjet printer - HP's DeskJet 940C. The reason why is pretty darn simple - it's always worked. Every operating system (Windows, Linux distributions, OS X-based Hackery, from virtual to bare-metal, even Solaris) that supports USB has detected and supported this printer. Basically, as long as I keep it fed (ink and paper) it prints - and prints - and prints. I've gone through three *motherboards* since I've had this printer. (However, two of those were in the past year.) The absolutely most reliable non-laser printer I've owned (or even heard of) - it's why I have never hesitated to recommend HP's inkjets ever since (and still do, even though I loathe all-in-ones on principle, and most HP printers these days that *aren't* LaserJets fall into this category). Snow hasn't broken the streak; like Leopard (and Tiger) before it, it supports the printer directly (in fact, there are three different drivers for it included with Snow; I'm partial to the GutenPrint driver, which is an improved version over GutenPrint for Leopard).
