At this week’s Macworld Conference & Expo, HP’s Rick Spillers told Macsimum News that HP’s printer line-up has extensive support for Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”), which support for over 1,100 printers built into the operating system.
“Some of the supported devices are 10 years old,” he says. “From a practical viewpoint, you could use almost any HP device from anywhere in the world.”
That’s for print only features (not scanning and faxing) in all-in-one devices, by the way. Spillers also touted HP’s extensive support for the Apple Airport Extreme and Express for most of its printers and all-in-ones.
Most of the devices manufactured in the last few years are compatible with the Apple Airport Extreme and Express in the past few years. You just plug ‘em directly into the USB or Ethernet port. You can then discover and create a printer queue via the Bonjour technology.
The “Macsimum MWSF 2007 Coupon Book” is available for download. You can find it here and print it as a PDF. It has discounts, special offers and promotions in conjunction with the upcoming Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco.
