The printer will have either a parallel port (a long thin connector) a USB port or a network port, or any combination of these 3.  These days, most printers can work on USB, so if the printer did not come with a USB cable, you can pick one up from any electronics store for relatively cheap.\n\nAfter you've physically connected the printer to your computer, you'll need drivers for it.  If it did not come with a CD, go online to the website for the brand of printer, and download their drivers.

If all you want to do is black printing, you do not want to purchase an inkjet printer. You will save a lot of money in the long run if you purchase a monochrome (black only) laser printer. The bad thing about inkjet printers is that if you don't use the color about once a week, the printhead will dry up and your printer will be rendered useless. A laser printer cannot possible dry up since it doesn't use ink, but instead uses toner. Laser printers melt the toner onto the page and thus gives darker black images than inkjets could ever hope to attain.\n\nAs far as printing costs go, an inkjet cartridge will cost you around $25 and will print you about 400 pages. A laserjet toner cartridge will cost you about $70, but will print 2,500 pages. In other words:\n\nTo print 2,500 pages with an inkjet printer, you pay $150.\nTo print 2,500 pages with a laser printer, you pay $70.\n\nIf you truly only want black printing, go with the monochrome laser printer. Laser printers are built for heavy use and will last you several years. You mentioned that you want a Mac-compatible printer for black-only printing. The HP 1022 is the best printer for you. It supports Windows and Mac, prints only black, and is quiet, fast, and reliable. True, it costs $199, but you will definately be happy with this machine. Don't be suckered into buying a cheap printer only to find yourself replacing the cartridges constantly. This printer is great. Seriously, look into it. I've included a link.

Unfortunately that's how printing companies catch you these days, making their printer prices unusually cheap and reeling it in with the cartridges.\n\nYour best bet is to buy a cheap printer and one of the following options:\n\n1. Visit http://www.refreshcartridges.co.uk/\n2. Buy a refill kit and fill them yourself (be very careful of mixing colours)\n3. See if you can grab some on eBay.\n\nIf you have an inkjet printer this shouldn't be a problem, however if you have a laserjet printer already (these aren't too cheap, but offer better print quality) then you must buy a toner cartridge, and unfortunately these also come at a price and cannot be refilled.\n\nHope this helps.

I suggest you replace the printer since it is obsolete. Printers have come way down in cost.

Lexmark cartridges aren't cheap but there are alternative cartridges you can use, they do a black 16 and a colour 26 which also fit your printer but they are only a few pounds cheaper at about £ 16 for 16 black and £ 20 for 26 colour. But it's best to shop around, if you purchase through the net it will cost more by the time you add post & package.Try P.C World or if in uk W.H. Smiths , or a shop " The Stationary Box" in most shopping centres

As far as which photo printer is right for you, it depends on what all you would like to do with it. Would you like to print normal documents as well. Do you want to copy and scan also? For photos, I recommend HP's new line of printers. Photos come out clean and clear, waterproof, smudgeproof, and fade resistant for 100 years. I have included links that show more information about these printers.\n\nPortable 4x6 photo printers.\nIf you just want to print 4x6 photos, you can purchase a portable photo printer. These machines are strictly for photos. HP has a new line of portable photo printers that print 4x6, 5x7, and 4x12 (panoroma). Most have a LCD screen where you can view and edit your photos without using a computer. They cost between $100 - $250, depending on the features. These printers are handy if you want to print your photos at parties, sports games, on vacation, or anywhere else you could take your printer with you. These are popular printers right now because of their portablility. The photo printer used by the critters in Over the Hedge is an HP portable photo printer.\n\nRegular photo printes\nMany people want great photos, as well as normal productivity (such as printing documents, copying, scanning, or faxing). If you do not plan on traveling with your printer and want more funcionality, these are the printers for you. If you do not want to copy, scan, or fax, the HP D7160 or D7360 is a good choice ($150 - $199). If you want to print, copy, and scan, I own the HP Photosmart C5180  (does not fax, $199). This is the printer I recommend to everyone. If you do want fax, the HP C6180 has everything, including fax.\n\nI recommend the 6-cartridge HP Photosmart printers for photo printers. Many companies are now using the individual ink cartridges now for each color of ink. Unlike Canon or Epson, with HP you can purchase all 6 cartridges along with 150 sheets of 4x6 waterproof paper in a combo pack for $37. This averages out to 24 cents per photo and the photos are much better than what you would get at Wal Mart (Canon and Epson printers cost 55 cents per photo). The HP 6-cartridge photo printers are the most customer-friendly photo printers on the market.\n\nMy recommendation to you is:\nHP A616 (A617 at Best Buy) for a portable 4x6 photo printer.\n\nHP D7160 for a regular printer that also prints great photos.\n\nHP C5180 for a regular printer that also copies, scans, and prints great photos. (My top recommendation, though all these photo printers have about the same quality).\n\nHP C6180 is you want everything the C5180 has plus the ability to fax and wireless networking.

I would suggest first looking at what your distribution is going to be. Look at all your requirements, number of prints in the production, paper types etc...\n\nif this is just for small runs, under 10 to 40, and you need excelent quality, I would suggest a solid ink printer from xerox

An inkjet printer uses ink cartridges and does not require special paper.  A laser printer uses a combination of heat and toner to produce high quality prints.  A laser printer requires the use of laser printer paper which is slightly more expensive than regular paper but not by much (last time I checked anyway).\n\nEventually you will have to replace the toner in a laser printer and it will cost you between $80 and $100 for a replacement toner but you don't have to do it very often.\n\nA cheap laser printer can be as little as $100 but will not print colors, only black and white.  There are color laser printers but they are very expensive.\n\nSee source links for more information about laser and inkjet printers.
