I suggest you get an HP photosmart C4200 series printer. It's an all-in-one, and i have many at my friend's buisiness, and i have never ever had problems with it. Btw, before you throw away the printer or do what the other person said, go to www.hewlettpackard.com and download the driver. maybe they gave you a faulty CD/DVD, so don't make all heck break loose just because your printer doesn't like your mac.
