Well, in the world of HP printers, I was looking at the HP 1022
(about $200), supposed to support OS 10.3 ... I don't know if that
would mean my Tiger which is 10.4.2, I believe would work. It will
take up to legal size, which may be ok for my needs. I assume the
output quality would be in the realm of good post script ... sharp
edges and no jagged beams, etc. no? But, since you mentioned it,
I'll check out the 5000 series too. Thanks again for sharing your
wisdom.

Dear Dean,
I print my own big band scores - as many as 16 staves, on normal
letter size paper in landscape view. But I am not really reading
them - just being reminded of what I have written. If I really
needed to see shat I was conducting, I'd get some 11x17 paper cut
to 11x14 and use that in whichever orientation was more appropriate
for the instrumentation I was using. I just like the 11x14
proportion.
As others will tell you, the HP laserjet 5000 series printers are
quite robust and do a great job. I've had mine for years with no
trouble and very good results. It cost a small fortune when i
bought it, but the prices of comparable printers have come down a
lot since then, and the Ricoh that Noel has has been recommended by
many on the list. As others have suggested, smaller ones are even
less expensive than I thought.

Heh, heh .... you got that right. I do carry a medicare card. As
far as large format goes, the largest I think I would use is legal
size for scores. Though, as my present project is 22 staves,
legal size means a pretty small print ... something larger would
be nice, if it's available. What size paper do you professional
types use for larger scores such as mine?
Thanks Chuck

Hi Dean,
My impression is that the price has come down to $200 - 300 for
entry level printers, and that a pretty robust one can be found
for around $700. There was discussion here of a particular Ricoh
printer that folks liked a while ago. Depends on your needs -
whether you need large format printing or not. My suggestion is
to do what the young folks do - do a web search. You can find a
lot on the HP site, and I imagine Ricoh has a useful site too.
You must be an old fogey like me, if you have yet to do this :-)

I see your point. Without researching, how much do they get for
Laser Printers these days .... wouldn't necessarily have to be
color, if that even enters into it anymore?

There are parallel-to-USB adapters especially for printers. I
used one on a PC with no problems. I'd assume they are Mac
compatible. The one I used was made by Belkin. I've seen 'em
in Best Buy and even WalMart.

Most Apple printers are not parallel. They are localtalk and
the only way to get them to talk to your new computer is via an
appletalk bridge. To be honest, the expense doesn't really
justify getting one, unless you have a very up the market
printer (ie colour or A3). Anything else, just get a new laser
printer with USB or Ethernet.
