I have to argue with that. I have an HP6180 AIO and it works  
perfectly under OS10.4.8! I have it on a wireless network and all  
computers can print to it, G4s and Intels. The only problem is that I  
can't scan to the G4 tower because it has no airport card and is  
connected to the router via e-net. The AIO has e-net, USB, and  
wireless capabilities built in.
