[X Newbies] which multifunction inkjet printer

[birgit rhoads]

I have had 2 Epson printers and 2 Epson scanners.  With Panther, I can 
at least use them fairly reliably again. However, not the software that 
came with them. If you have the printer attached to Airport, you cannot 
use the utilities.  Personally, I would not buy from a company who does 
not care to support Apple OS with updated drivers and software.  I 
bought my daughter a Canon Printer and she loves it.  I will not be 
buying anymore Epsons.

Just my 2¢.  (option/4=¢)  Sorry I could not resist.
