Yeah, it is. It just won't play on my PS2. It's a Sega game. Might that have something to do with it?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is cool, LeN. Apparently I have the wrong service for my neighbourhood.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Probably excessively dull question:
Zmayhem has come into a small bit of money, just large enough that even though most of it will go toward debt reduction, we can set a very small bit aside to get a color printer/scanner for our G4. After slogging through a metric shitload of printer listings and user comments at Apple and epinions, these four appear to be both affordable and reasonably well-liked by the people who've used them. Does the hivemind have any recommendations/HELL NOs from this list, or printers we haven't looked at yet but should?
Many, many thanks. Printer choice is possibly the least exotic and exciting tech dilemma ever presented to the hivemind, but I trust the hivemind much, much more than my own.

Aww, honey, your links timed out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah, the Apple store is annoying in that way.

HP printers do NOT play well with Macs, in my experience. It's possible to make them get along (we bought an HP all-in-one before we realized this), but it's not fun.*
(If the printer is going to be plugged directly into the computer, you're probably fine with whatever, but if you want it to network, you'll be in for some troubleshooting.)
NOTE: I have just come from happy hour, so my advice may not be the most coherent at this time.
[eta: For values of "not fun" which equal "not cheap." The solution we ended up with was to buy an Airport Express and use it as a print server.]

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I've got an HP all in one that is on my network and it's always been tempermental. It's got built in wifi that has never worked right with my Macs so it ended up with a net connection that seems to need constant babysitting. It may be better if it were directly connected. I've also got a Canon ip3000 that has been great and has just worked, with no worries.

Huh. My hp 4215xi all-in-one has always worked perfectly with my eMac. Better, in fact, than my old Epson that came with a Mac purchase.

Is it networked or plugged directly into your computer? The folks above have only had problems when it was networked.
