Of course they do, but they don't provide Mac drivers for printers that cannot physically connect to a Mac. So long as the roommate is sharing the printer, you might be able to use it with a driver for a numerically close printer (ie. a driver for a DW840 to use an 845).
Also their ink cartridges are overpriced and proprietary only.
Excuse me? Epson's cartridges are proprietary, so are Lexmark's and Canon's. It's not like you can use the cartridge from one company in another's printer.
Stick w/ Epson printers if possible-they've always worked well w/ my Macs- try to sell the HP if you can.
Epson does make nice drivers, but they make printers that are extremely difficult to clean, and they only have one with replaceable print-heads. At least with HP you get a new print head with each cartridge (a little more expensive, but worth it in the end).
