This the first step to figuring out which printer will be best for your needs. Take a minute to think about the intention of your printing.
Fortunately, technology is improving things like compatibility and the selection available today offers a category for just about every printing need, including everyday printing, photo printing, office/business printing, and more. Between the various models available and their numerous features, and then the added issue of finding something that is compatible with your Mac, it can get confusing.
Buying a printer has never been a truly simple task.
