[iBook] All in one printer/fax/copier for Mac?

[Andy McMullin]

We have an HP "OfficeJet g series" which works well. It is connected  
to a PC on our house network and whilst all the other PCs can get to  
it, I've never managed to get the Mac to do so -- I have to plug into  
it properly. So I also find the HP Director a pain -- why is it not  
network aware? The drivers for our house laser (also an HP) work fine  
across our net.

On the plus side though: for an inkjet, the running costs are not too  
bad and you can cut the costs a little more by using generic ink  
cartridges -- which are available in the UK for most HP models but  
not for all the other manufacturers.
