Brian: I am going to pass on your dot matrix printer. What I would like to know, is can I hook up any modern type printers to that old Mac SE? If so, how? Or maybe I can plug my old SE into the Performa, and use the laser printer now attached. And finally, I really don't need to hook

I have 3 printers, 2 Epson, 1 HP. I like them all, they all were gifts with computers I bought, so I was not choosy. One old Epson the company replaced for free. i had some issues with it. The small HP is newer, runs faster, I also can use that European size paper, and copies last page

I have owned both Epson and HP injet printers, but only use them infrequently. I like my Brother HL- 5040 (a laser) much better for business and drawings where color is not required. Of the inkjet printers, both the Epson and HP work ok, but I would give Epson the edge because my HP

While on the subject of printers, I still have my old, little box type Mac SE, that still runs pretty good, (but slow). Back when I used this Mac SE, I had a dot-matrices printer, that I have long since discarded. Is there any way I could hook up one of my existing printers to work with

Anne, Please forgive me for sticking my nose in where it probably doesn't belong, but I thought I'd give you my experience with Epson printers. I've had several; currently own a Stylus Photo R220, which I bought mainly because it will print labels on printable CDs. It takes forever for the

Im still using my 12 year old Epson stylus 740. I refill my own cartridges since they are not chipped like current ink carts. I don't use it as much now that I have a laser, but it has been a work horse.. I have a spare too. I can't seem to upgrade. Something I can refill or get new carts

Nolan, Thanks or the information. The printer I had that died was an Epson Stylus Photo R220. Aside from the fact that it was very slow by today's standards (after all it was 5 or 6 years old) I had no problem with it. I haven't ben able to find a currently manufactured Canon that uses the
