I didn't think I'd need a new printer, but I do. I missed the huge rebate you get when you buy a computer and printer on the same day, so now I'm looking for deals. I do like printers with a copier feature. Point me toward steals and deals!

I don't have a specific printer recommendation but I will say that you need to make sure whatever you buy is fully compatible with a MAC. By that I mean that if it doesn't come with MAC printer driver's that you can get one from the Apple site.

We have an HP printer that is not MAC supported and its a nightmare to try and print. Thing hasn't printed right since we got our laptop.

There's a few HP printers that we have at work that aren't marketed/sold as Mac compatible, but we did locate a driver and they work super. I *think* it's the HP 1020 or 1021 laser for which this is the case.

I'm not familiar at all w/ all in ones; we only use straight laser printers at work (and home).

Rachel,

I use these websites when I'm looking for deals on electronics - hopefully they'll have something you can take advantage of.
